I agree with this statement. Harper isn't exactly a 'leader of men', but he certainly holds conservative views. Look at his history before politics to confirm that.
If anything, he's suppressed his personal views in an effort to appeal to the center-right while the Tories do the minority government dance to hold power.
I also agree with the "mannequin in a sweater" comment. That's pretty accurate, and I take it to be more of an attack of his public persona than his political views.
And I prefer him over Ignatieff as PM wholeheartedly. Unfortunately I live in Rob Anders' riding, so I'll be voting for some fringe candidate instead.
