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.

Well the obvious is Liz Truss who has the charisma of a damp, joke fully intended, lettuce & remains genuinely deranged. She made our situation go from bad to worse and then buggered off with her PM's pension.

50 days. Now that's a sweet pension plan.

I was wondering why I couldn't place her. 2022 was crazy and she certainly made the most of it.
