It's the customer-service model of city council, and it's how Rob Ford keeps getting elected after it's revealed that he's a drunken crack-addict who's a danger to himself and others. The job is not to do what's the best for the city, it's to solve the problem of the constituent you're talking to right now. That's it.

A small number of people with a million individual problems and no experts providing a thorough analysis of the issues. In a big room walking around chatting. That's his element.

It's very effective because it really wins people over. Anybody who chooses to run against him and has actual policy ideas unlike just pandering will have to master that art.
