Well, in basic form a leader has an entirely different job than an 
MP. MPs are basically Cops. They enforce general rules and regs as 
well as handle traffic direction and other organizational issues.

A leader leads by dealing with problems in an entirely different way 
than MPs are likely to. Sometimes he glosses over problems or handles 
them in his own way.  Leaders should ideally be looking out for the 
good of their unit and making sure they are able to best accomplish 
their mission.

Again, it sounds like Scooter is still working as a cop.
