Any leader needs to know how the game works. A political leader has to know how politics know, how to compromise and who to back up and who to face. The background doesnt really matter that much, theres been good leaders from almost every background.
Experience in governing is the key.

Mods, can you move this thread to the political forum please?

It's happened already: 4 months ago, 1 real was worth 2 dollars. Now, you need 4 reais to buy 1 dollar

That's why I didn't buy Godskitchen compilation: every imported product now is way too expensive for us And that was because they were affraid Lula could win What now?

congrats to lula being elected, i hope he serves you brazilians well

what does a president need... as arbiter said, Reason and Leadership. i also think a good educational background or at least the capacity to learn and comprehend informations well.
what i do belive is very under-rated and probably the single most important thing for a president is his advisors. yes, the president alone can not decide and know about everything, he has to have a very talented group of people to 'advise' him on what to do. some may say the advisors actually have more power then the president himself. thats why before voting its important to see who the candidate surrounds himself with.

only 1 person has said it really....charisma. you need people to like you in order for them to vote for ya. other than that, great advisors and people around you... look at dubya for crap sake.

NO!!!

John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia is probably the best politician you have ever seen - however he is absolutely useless as a leader. Not only is he a career politician (meaning no charisma or leadership skills whatsoever), he will gladly sacrifice in the name of political gain. In our last election (only a couple of months after Sept 11), he was manipulating things, talking about terrorists and protecting borders and shit - he's done nothing like that, all he has done is be boring...

/rant over
