Pastor St. Claire Mitchel encouraged people to gain control over their emotions when it comes to politics and voting or choosing to temporarily follow Leaders. He pointed out ‘that in this imperfect world’ the Likeability of a leader plays a minimal role, however, the character and competence of the individual is far more significant than likeability. He agrees that a leader who is extremely likeable but possesses greedy traits, is not transparent about his whereabouts, is not transparent about the full contents of negotiations he/she concludes with investors, allied governments and the like, and sinisterly seeks to impose his will upon the population through legislation. He was speaking on the Global View on Q Program on Tuesday night, hosted by Sheridan Gregoire. Pastor St. Claire Mitchel.
