THE WINNER IS…
Our contest to match literary figures with high (and low) political positions has closed. The winner is: Arnie Draiman for his entry
Don Quixote: Prime Minister.
As charging at invisible windmills remains fashionable among many prime ministers, there is no need to identify any particular person in this modern, on-going charge of the International Light Brigade of Quixotes.
Arnie Draiman will receive a copy of Matt Beynon Rees’ brilliant Omar Yussef mystery, A Grave in Gaza.

Nice one, Arnie. Of course, Don Quixote may be far too incorruptible to be Prime Minister….at least of any Middle Eastern country. My vote would always go to Sancho Panza for higher office. Enjoy the book!
