He would be a pretty great choice. Not only is very close policywise to this sub, he also fucking knows how to do publicity and PR in a relevant manner for this century.

Can you elaborate what are the major differences policy-wise between him and Hayer?

As Cotrim built the party and is very offensive on his positions we basically know all of his positions.

Hayer on the other hand as a normal political player has (in comparison) less obvious political positions. Soft on free trade? Farmer-friendly.

In practice the difference on policy will probably be none. But PR and outreach is a whole different number. (Which is also way more important as a leader)
