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
