Cummings isn& #39;t the omniscient ubermensch that some of the Tory spin is making him out to be. He does however have an intuitive understanding of true populism which is very rare in Westminster. I fear some of his opponents are underestimating him again.
He understands that most people
A) don& #39;t care at all about process
B) don& #39;t care about logical consistency
C) care a lot about the things that directly impact their life (NHS, crime)
D) hate being told how to behave

He also understands the importance of message discipline better than anyone since Campbell. Repetition looks absurd to those of us who pay attention to politics but cuts through to the majority that don& #39;t.
What& #39;s he bad at?
A) analysing his own failings (ironically given his love of Tetlock etc)
B) the boring work of detailed policy development
C) avoiding petty and distracting battles with his enemies.
