The Dull Shall Inherit The Vote

John Howard - Global Superstar:

Mr Howard is the very personification of dullness. He could easily pass for an elderly country solicitor, with neither a designer trainer nor an iPod to be seen anywhere near his conventionally suited person.
But that's not all:

In short, Mr Howard embodies the characteristics of true leadership — and these have little to do with charisma, with which it is often confused. With a record punctuated by fierce controversy, he is nevertheless trusted and admired as a result of sticking to his guns — and staying faithful to clearly understood, bedrock conservative principles and not trimming them or ditching them altogether in favour of the fashions of the day.
