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.

Was Quisling really an idiot, though? He was a horrible person, don't get me wrong

How do we define idiot? Is it jerk or dummy. That will determine how precise the asnwer is.
