Mustaches, beards, not even stubble

Why do we have a shortage of furry leaders?

Wow everyone, thank you so much for the answers! 
I live in South Korea, so when most of these comments came on and it hit the front page, I was asleep. I woke up this morning to the surprise of being on the front page. Thank you for that and the various responses!

Good luck Thomas Mulcair!
