"Narcissism involves a deeply complex relationship with self-awareness, generally characterized by a lack of genuine insight, intense ego-defensive mechanisms, and a distorted, grandiose self-image that rejects vulnerability. "

"Behind substantially" is a curious turn of words. Trailed in the polls? One would more commonly associate "behind substantially" with being in arrears in payments of some kind. The PM-elect says he was paying CPAC. Hmmm. Something to ponder.
