Social democrats and their populism

For a long time I have had a very unpleasant feeling, that a party that has ruled our country for not less than 7 years, is swimming on a wave of the harshest populism a democratic party can provide. Not only do they change their prime ministers as often as a regular man his underwear - exactly four till this day, but today they beat all my expectations with another spectacular announcement. In the forthcoming general elections, they will choose their leader according to his popularity among all citizens in the Czech republic, for which purpose they will ask a public meaning agency to make them a survey about the popularity of leading social democrats in the whole society. Where do we stand? Everyone knows, that the most popular polititians are those who don't lead but just follow public opinions, at least it has been so since 1990. O my god, I can't wait till the day they get dismissed, no matter how good or bad the other parties are. In my eyes, we need political leaders, not followers of public opinions, such as 100% free healthcare, early retirement or loopholes for various interest groups. Such leaders could be Miroslav Kalousek or Mirek Topolanek, although they also have their flaws and particularly Topolanek has some really radical companions at his side (or behind his back).
