He admitted he never intended to do the job for that long
“As far as I can tell it’s had no effect on Sheffield at all. Why should people from Leeds do a round trip of 80 miles to get to to an arena?”
From Margaret Thatcher through to Rishi Sunak, the Conservative Party has had 10 different Westminster leader since Councillor Carter took the reins locally in 1983. Sunak himself was a toddler at the time. Asked which of all of them he felt his politics were closest to, Councillor Carter said it was “difficult” to choose, but that David Cameron was “very much my cup of tea”.
“I was very fond of David Cameron,” he said. “When he was elected I thought he was a breath of fresh air, though I thought the way he handled the Brexit referendum was very poor.. I think he’s a very bright guy and probably the brightest Prime Minister we’ve had for a long time, and I include Blair and Brown in that. I think if Rishi gets the chance, he will be an excellent long-term PM.”
