Not sure what "character" has to do with it given that the only thing that matters is what she has to say.
Surely you're capable of assessing the validity of her argument without needing her to be a "character" to sell it to you?

If a tramp on the street told you you're about to be run over by an oncoming bus, would you be overly concerned with his personal hygiene or would you just get off the road and ask questions later?

Whats this bollocks about Wander?
Her character would be important to many people, especially youngsters who would be able to relate to her if she was able to show more enthusiasm, rather than just delivering a statement, no matter how effective it is. I think she sometimes comes across as a bit 'cold'.
We all know how much it means to her, but it doesn't always come across visually. 
As for the tramp, I wouldn't give a hoot about his personal hygiene, and would probably give his dog part of my sausage roll, buy an out-of-date copy of the Big Issue, and then climb on the said bus. (Tramps, hygiene, buses, whats going on here?)

So PR and image is the b-all and end-all of politics?

That's not what I said, as you well you know. Its all part of the overall presentation. The idea is to get your argument/position across in the most effective way. We've all had to do presentations where the most important point is to tailor your delivery to the audience you have. We all do it in life, depending on who, where, when , and how we need to.

If they put a divisive character like Bernie up, they'll be making the same error Labour did with Corbyn - policies before personalities - which doesn't work in this f***** up ignorant world.
