I'm not starting a political debate, I also vote conservative. I find it actually impressive that the Conservatives are "growing their brand" despite a poor public image.
I would bet a large majority of a voters decision is based on whether they like the guy or not. I wonder if the sentiment towards Obama would be any different if he had the charm and charisma of Harper.
If I'm not mistaken, Trudeau was one of more famous and loved Politicians in Canadian history, despite being for all intents and purposes a "bad" prime minister.
At risk of being captain obvious, a good leader is someone who people want to follow and believe in. Harper kind of creeps me out, yet I still vote for him.
All I was saying was that with the Canadian political landscape the way it is, if some great Charismatic leader rode in on a white horse and took the country by storm, I think the voters would jump on his\her bandwagon in a heartbeat.

I think it's about shifting values, myself.
