The 'Governator', as the Californian press affectionately refer to him, is pro-environment and has written a couple of articles for New Scientist on the subject, something that very few other governing politicians have done, which shows intelligence and capability, in my opinion. Ronald Reagan did a lot for his country in that his presidency played a major role in the end events of the Cold War - he has one of the highest approval ratings of any ex-President. So, to be honest, using the USA as an example to try and get people to vote against Boris is a bit of a weird thing to do, because it's not exactly been a crushing failure so far. I am sure there are counter-examples to both the examples I have provided, but my point isn't that it's always a good idea, it's that fame doesn't have to affect someone's ability or capacity in this sort of role.
