Amoral, liar, big mouth, thick skin, total lack of integrity, incompetent (just to start with).

A coterie of like minds, preferably with money, who need a mouthpiece, regardless of beliefs or knowledge.

You need an excellent memory, because once you tell one lie, you need to tell another, then another and so on.

You also need skin as thick as a battleship's armour.

Doesn't apply here in Wictoria, just speak loudly and confidently; it doesn't matter what you say, the more outrageous the better, as both the Opposition and the Media are either impotent, ineffective or both.

It also helps if one wears a shiny new crash hat and a bright flak jacket both with FIGJAM logos, of course.

Something similar here in Ireland, North and South. We have a mixture of First past the Post and PR Single Transferable vote. In East Antrim it is a requirement to be able to shout loud and long.
If anyone believes they are moral, truthful, small mouthed, thin skinned, bursting with integrity and highly competent the entry bar is quite low. Give it a go.
