We're getting lost in the weeds, but I mean popularity in the sense of likability as opposed to simply the guy/gal who gets the most votes. I'm gonna use foreign examples, because they come to mind, but I'd rather have a mean-spirited curmudgeon who go the job done like Thatcher than a smiling doofus who makes the ladies wet, but rides the country into Pound Town like Trudeau anyday of the week...
If everyone voted based on merit how would you describe the person with the majority of the votes? Popular maybe?
