    So we’re going to ignore a whole party and it’s values and objectives because the leader has no charisma?

    I don’t really care about charisma as long as they get the job done.

      The thing is, they don’t get the job done. And one of their jobs is to win over the hearts and minds of the electorate, and they can’t even make small inroads on that when people are frustrated and ready for change.

      The party has presented no clear vision for voters to latch on to, and I say this as someone who volunteers for them.
