As long as people keep voting for him, he'll stick around.

If only younger generations voted more often, but I can understand it. I was one of those foolish ones who never bothered voting all through my twenties.

It's the job of the parties to convince people to vote for them. Hell it's their most important job really. If the kids aren't voting the parties are not doing their job properly.

I'd prefer that we had more integrity in our leadership.

Getting votes and integrity are not contradictory.
