How long can a Deadleg dangle?

A week is a long time in politics, the saying goes. For the Deadleg from the North, it’s proving more than enuff time to take the gloss off him.
    Like Bier Smarmer, he has no record of being good at any stage of his career. Is it an advantage for a politician to take over a postion of great responsibility with Nett Zero expectation that he will be any good at it? Probably not if the countdown to J.B’s departure has already started.
