Lubbers

This man, Ruud Lubbers, was the longest serving prime minister in the Netherlands, from 1982 to 1994. He was very good with words so that often his political opponents were left confused, caught in a thick forest of words. And if the words didn't fit, he changed the meaning of them or he quoted from non-existent dictionary editions. He was also very good in finding compromises, very handy in a coalition country such as the Netherlands. He was the prime minister of my youth.
He was appointed as informateur so we could see him in parliament, in the chair usually occupied by the prime minister. It was vintage Lubbers.
