Quite relevant for this year.

I would counter that with, look at our leader. He is the all promise with no delivery kind of guy.
Mildly charismatic, bit it didn’t take long for the cracks to start showing.

Which would be the definition of “uninformed” voters. Voters who get influenced by propaganda and media narratives instead of being able to form their own opinions and see through the BS.
Don’t get me wrong - that’s very difficult to achieve. But it is a matter of being uninformed and lacking education.

our leaders are even worse. since the early 2000s, we have never had a competent leader. All we have had are “charismatic” leaders for their ignorant supporters. And the current leader is the worst of them all, a former special forces general who also kidnapped activists. He’s similar to his father-in-law, a great dictator and corruptor in our history.
and he didn’t even care about the deaths of more than 1,000 people due to flooding. The response was slow, he avoided criticism, and he did not even accept foreign aid.
You linked with a time stamp at the end lol, the video started played from the end.
Can I argue (perhaps as devil’s advocate) that a popularity contest isn’t the problem?
The Prime Minister’s job isn’t (or perhaps shouldn’t be) to make hard decisions (unlike perhaps the US president), it’s to lead their party and the country. Their job is to show up to meetings with the heads of other countries and make us sound good and look good on the world stage. Exactly the kind of person they are saying makes a bad leader. The prime minister has a cabinet and access to experts for making decisions as a government.
Plato’s idea of having a group of scholars lead the country is dumb. Sooner or later that will become a form of dictatorship, and in all likelihood that group will get dumber over time.
Perhaps the problem is there’s no requirement to have expert advice on decisions, or perhaps the lack of transparency in that advice (though there are obviously reasons some things may need to be kept secret). Perhaps we need to require qualifications and experience for certain advisors to the government, some sort of requirements for evidence supporting the advice, and some level of scrutiny over the advice and whether the government followed it. A government that never follows advice must surely (🥺) lose popularity, and a government that follows expert advice over half the time must surely perform better than existing governments…

OP will probably end up running the world.
