He comes off as a stereotypical white rich fratboy from all those teen movies. Basically a total selfish asshole who likes to hurt other people for fun.
I have always felt he comes across as ingenuine, I also think he knows it and at long as he is pandering to the electorate they will keep voting.
But he knows that he is unpopular, just look at the outcome of the last election, he didn't even know the names of those he was talking into parliament. That is how little he thought of Act's chance of getting that much of the vote.
Probably but I do not care, I vote on policy and policy only. I dont care what leaders look like, if that was important to me I'd vote TOP, Raf Manji is hot as fuck
It's difficult to jump on the policy train when you know that the good policies are just to get votes and will never materialise, and that anything controversial that needs more than 3 years to complete will likely be killed by the next government.
You do have to look at the track record of the party to see if they will try to enact policy - this is why I'd never vote Winston First. And hopefully they will last more than 3 years
Yeah, he's got a gross charming but shallow salesman kinda vibe to him that comes across like gloss on a turd to me. The type of salesman that's very very good at selling, but you just know that whatever he sells is going to bite you in the ass later. Some people can't see past the gloss though.
