I don't want to challenge this too much, Professor Koop, but we heard some damning testimony about how important we are as members of Parliament, in the sense of why people voted for us. Many MPs think it's because of our sheer brilliance and good looks, but evidence shows us increasingly that party leaders, or parties themselves, or a brand are much more deterministic and have become increasingly powerful in why voters choose to put their vote behind one candidate or another.
Do you have evidence that counters that? If so, I'm sure our egos would love to hear it, because it's been quite a bashing at some of these meetings.
