I think the one constant in politics is that a large number of people in any country think whoever's in charge is an idiot and it was stupid that they were even put in charge at all. But this doesn't mean they aren't popular with other portions of that very population. It's less about the truth and more about how they're perceived, that's what gets them popular.Wait, what? The nation desired Micahel as its leader? He can't lead shit, he's too stupid for that.
