Popular and competent

We have a popular and competent Prime Minister. Well according to the popular and competent Prime Minister herself. But how do we measure that popularity and competence. How good her weblog is? How many enemies she has? How much power she has? How she handles the media?

Well, the polls could be an indication of popularity. So could talk back radio. If people complain, the popularity is not so popular.

What about competence? Normally it is based on whether you have fulfilled your job description

But there's one problem: The Prime Minister does not have a job description. There is no statutory provision which establishes the office of the Prime Minister, or which defines its role.

So how do we know how competent she is? What is the measure?
