Who's the worst politician in your country's elected legislature?
Some of you may remmebr him from a clip played on the Daily Show, when councilmember Jennings threw a piece of metal straignt into the back of a reporter who had been filming outside his home, and did this all on tape.
Jennings was recently fined and stripped of his commitee assignments after he was found guilty of various counts of sexual harrasment. His defense? The women were to ugly for him to have harrassed them...

Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Thats two people who've said Charles Clarke so far on the basis of illiberalism. How on Earth do you put him ahead of Blunkett?
Clarke's my MP. A stain upon the fair city of Norwich!

A few years ago, on the internet there was circulated a list of the 10 stupidest congressmen. I'll be jiggered if I can find it, though. I need an email archive.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
one of interesting examples is G. Janowski, a parliamentarist. At one point he's gone mad, wanted to kiss hands of men, and begane jumping shouting "1... 2... 3..." etc.
Later on, he explained that it were secret services that put drugs in his coffee. Another nice thing he's done is that he, for some reason, blocked the speaking tribune of the parliament, and the marshall of the parliament didn't know what to do, and waited for the night. But instead of going away, Janowski slept there. So the marshall ordered marshall guard to take him out while he slept. But he's woken up and started jumping on the tribune, trying to escape
One of the most colourful people in the parliament is undoubtfully miss Beger. She's a butcher's dotter or something like this, anyway, she's been a member of special parliamentary comission, which works were transmitted by tv, so she's got quite reknown, mostly thanks to her rural manners and lack of intelligence.
After she's said that she likes sex like horse likes oat and several other phrases like that shes got (hard to translate) "little *****es in her eyes", she was proposed a session for Playboy, though she's not very attractive. She actually wanted to do it, it seems, but the leader of her party (who is an interesting person himself) has forbidden that.
Later on, it was revealed she forged the lists of support for her elections.
Another interesting woman, of the same party, miss Hojarska, not only is a criminal herself, but also her son's in prison (and she's forged pass for him), and her husband has been killed probably due to some obscure interests.
Her party recommended her to the parliamentary Comission of Justice.
But it's a party that plans amnestion for criminals, so I guess they know what they're doing.
I'll close this list with a private detective named Rutkowski who is a star of tv series. Mainly, he liberates Polish women from the hands of their oppressive Muslim (he probably doesn't know this word, for he calls them all "Arabs") husbands.
Many more are waiting to be proudly shown to the world.
Including a parliamentarist who, discuised as a priest, escaped to Slovakia and later on was captured (with use of air forces) captured during his escape on ship to Sweden and so on.

I heard about him some time ago. He and a bunch of thugs in combat uniforms were goofing around somewhere in Sweden. IIRC, they were trying to catch some mafia dudes (presumably in the most dramatic way imaginable)
The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand.
Swedish feminist/leftist/communist-in-denial Gudrun Schyman.
She joined the Communist Party as a teen in the 70's and was a member until last year. But when asked about her view on Communism she recently said that she was never a communist, but joined "because she fell in love, and wanted to spend more time with her boyfriend who was a party member", thus indicating that women can't think for themselves. So much for feminism.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she became the leader of the party, now renamed "The leftists" and was very successful in giving the party a clear feminist profile, gaining 13% of the parliament by cannibalizing on the coalition partners The Social Democrats. She became more and more of a media-wh0re, competing in commercial TV shows and going to illegal rave parties. But after she made a total fool of herself at a movie premiere, p1ssing on the lounge floor because she was too drunk to find the toilet, it became apparant that she was a grave alcoholic and needed help. So she went to a clinic and came back sober, still a popular party leader with more than 10% of the parliament.
But then she made a a fool of herself again. First it was revealed that she had employed an illegal maid in her house, thus escaping tax. So much for leftist ideology. Her career survived that too. But she had to step down as the party leader when the Tax Collecting Agency found out that she tried to cheat by applying for private tax refunds on expenses that was already payed by the party. And it was no small money, more than her average voter earns in a year. So much for leftist ideology and solidarity. But she remained in the party and in the parliament, until last year, when she resigned and became an independent MP.
In the last 2-3 years, she has made some very controversial statements, like "All men are Talibans, same oppression wherever you go" and proposing the infamous "male tax" on all men, criminals or not, to compensate for wife beaters.
Now she is the party leader of the highly controversial feminist party, "Feministic Initiative (FI)". FI is also Swedish military abbrev for "The enemy", and their pun is probably intended. One of the most dominating leaders apart from Gudrun is a "Gender scientist" who thinks gay is the only normal way of life, and hetero lifestyles should be fought against. Several board member have already left the party after 3 months, saying it is un-democratic. And at their first party convention that started this afternoon, one of the issues is to remove marriage as a legal contract, and suggest partnerships of 2 OR MORE people of any gender to be as valid. "Marriage is not about love anyway, it's about property". They refuse to discuss the muslim form of 1 man having 4 wifes though.
If you make a slight allliteration of her name, you get "Gudrun Skyrman", which could mean both "Gudrun hates men" or "Gudrun is someone to avoid"
