One without the other is a recipe for disaster.<br /><br />We can look down south for an example of electing someone who is charming, but lacks the ability to execute both his policies & opponents.

Within a few years, the public vetoed his mandate and now he sits impotent in his office.<br /><br />I am not one of those who faults Stephen Harper for his "centralizing" tendancies.
