He has continually come out on top as his detractors laughed and poked fun. <br /><br />In reality, Trudeau is, as your commentator pointed out, a neo-liberal in the tradition of Paul Martin. But as a politician he has that quality which the most successful politicians have - he can be all things to all people. <br /><br />In other words, the issue is not that he lacks substance but that his substance appears to be multi-dimensional. Different people see different things that appeal to them. (This was the very thing that made Clinton so successful). And it is the very opposite of Harper in as much as People find different things to dislike in Harper while people find different things to like in Trudeau. <br /><br />Lightweight? I think not. In fact he carries the heaviest weight of all - maluability in the eyes of the electorate.
