As part of a greater censure about image-centric British leaders, member of Parliament Douglas Carswell pointed to one insidious influence among his peers: “I think they’ve just watched Richard Curtis’s Love Actually, and think it’s a manual for how to govern the country.” It’s the objective of every romantic-comedy writer to deeply effect policy change, and look!
