Charismatic politicians act by polarizing, galvanizing, and mobilizing supporters; routine politics, by contrast, requires maintaining a low profile and being willing to strike compromises. Europe today does not need inspirational leaders who can whip up a populist frenzy.
政治明星靠的是让支持者变得激动、极端化从而达到动员目的；日常政治则相反，需要保持低调，需要准备妥协。今日的欧洲不需要能够煽起民众狂热的传奇领袖，而需要能在一个复杂而多维的政治环境下工作的、受当地人民爱戴的领导人。
