I agree that the party vote is the most important but disagree that it has anything to do with the local candidate. I also disagree that wining or nearly winning is not an indicator of leadership qualities.

Case in point, my late father was a staunch National voter but actually voted multiple times for the local Labour candidate because he thought the National bloke was a tool-bag.
