Yes, you need substance in politics - but I think your style

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of both substance and style in politics. While substance refers to the ideas, policies, and actions of politicians, style refers to the manner in which they communicate and present themselves. It suggests that political leaders' style of communication not only reveals their personality but also influences the way they reach their conclusions. It implies that the way politicians articulate their thoughts and ideas can shape public perception and interpretation of their decision-making process.
