Admittedly I don’t know Acts policies well but their leader I find a bit of a turnoff. He looks like a grinning goblin to me.
Yes. I can’t tell if he’s about to try and sell me a used car that has had its odo fiddled with, or try and get me to join a cult.
Pretty accurate description of Act as a party and of their politics tbh.
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.
An ingenuine right-wing populist libertarian candidate? well I never!
He’s a less likable version of Rimmer.
He used to look exactly like Rimmer.
Now he looks like Rimmer swollen with fillers.
I think he looks like the dude on the cover of all the MAD magazines, which make it too hard to take him seriously.
Alfred E Neuman? Yeah, I can see that.
Gosh, that was an image that had already flashed into my mind before I read this
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.
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.
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
I vote on policy and policy only.
This is fine to a point, but you do need competent people to actually sell the policy to people, and actually get it enacted.
It also helps if that person isn’t an absolutely terrible person.
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
Yes.

A bit, yes. I plan on voting for them, but I will still admit he’s lacking in charisma.
