That sounds like populism to me. Ideally, people should want to elect either experts in their domain or able to use the advice of experts. Leaders shouldn't just follow the whims of the popular media, but instead have principles that they follow and communicate to the people. However, I may be atypical in that I'm more interested in politicians strongly held views rather than their personality (unless their personality is toxic e.g. Farage).
