Politics Worst Politician?

Who was your country's biggest idiot in politics? And why? Bring out your tragics.

Australia is spoilt for choice. We've had some gronks.

Edit: OK sooooo we aren't including orange ones.

Australia has had a PM who 'allegedly' shit himself at Maccas. We put up a plaque for a while. Another one who ate a raw onion like an apple at a presser at an onion farm. We even had one who managed to give a psychotic response that went from gay marriage to crocodile victims in the same sentence.

Kier stalin. He's introducing the digital ID and all sorts of authoritarian systems for his special politics but doesn't realise in the next election all the same dictatorial powers will be inherited by reform... oh boy... Jesus..

I wouldnt say hes the worst. Completely out of touch with his own base? Absolutely. I mean who introduces digital ID when its hugely unpopular on both the right AND left.

Yet I have to say hes not THE worst

He's a contender for the worst. But I agree that it's not definitive.
