I had just asked him why his party was trailing in the opinion polls a few days ahead of the general election here, when everything in this country is going so well.
His blue eyes searched the cloudless sky for a possible answer.
"Unemployment is low," I prompted him, "interest rates are at a record low, the UN keeps telling us we live in the best country in the world. Yet people say they want the Labour party back in power?"
When the heavens failed to provide him with an adequate answer, he looked back down, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Well, maybe people just want a change."
I do not think anyone can possibly understand how boring a general election in the world's best country really is.
