That's just not true, especially as the unequivocally most important person the party as the party leader representing that brand of politics.
Whether he makes good decisions or bad, the leader has considerable influence to shape policy for the party.
Furthermore, it's also not unreasonable to suggest a pattern of political leanings and behavior has the propensity to make voters question the motives and their leadership. Haven't many CP'ers in this very thread said the exact same thing about Notley?

Of course the leader has influence, I'm personally more concerned about my backbencher plug which wont. I honestly questioned Notleys belief before about pipelines but I truthfully believe she wants them now, despite her previous stance.
Peoples beliefs and values can and do change, Notley is proof of that, but unfortunately it's too little too late.
