Leadership is not a popularity contest. Leadership is about doing the right thing at the right time rather than the popular thing. We should all know that unlike what we believe, leaders are not running democracies. Being a leader is not about being liked. The "world leaders", as we tenderly call them, are not leaders per se, with all due respect. In fact, my next door neighbour, or yours as well, might be more of a leader than any of of these political actors. We all know that elections are simply popularity contests.
