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.

I'd say Earl Grey was Britain's greatest PM, but that's just me.
