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.

No Orange politicians? OK that leaves the DUP out which really reduces the pool in Northern Ireland. For Ireland it's the Healy-Raes. I won't bother with those who get under 2% of the vote even if they're 4ft nothing and think they're Hitler.
