Arguing that voters are more concerned with a party's leader than with its exact policies, this study skillfully blends psychoanalysis, sociology, and political science to present a new approach to politics and the electoral psyche. Little sets forth his own profiles of three main types of leaders-Strong, Group, and Inspiring, as exemplified by Thatcher, Carter, and Kennedy respectively-and their three discrete "project" types, or ways of acting as individuals while at the same time establishing relations with others.
