Who are your favourite politicians?

[Grim Reaper]

For me I have a lot of respect for people like Don Dunstan, Paul Keating, Gough Whitlam and even Malcolm Fraser. The politicians today lack charisma and have the guts to do things the the ignorant public may not agree with.

Paul Keating - he had the balls to do the right thing even if it wasn't popular with the electorate.

I was saddened that the ALP chose to background his achievements as an election strategy instead of highlighting the fact that many of the economic successes of the last 8 years were the result of Keating's economic policies.

He also had the guts to recognise the inequities in our country on race relations when the coward Howard puts his blinkers on and feeds off fear and paranoia.

Paul Keating by the length of the straight!

Yeah I'm a big fan of Paul Keating too. Bob Brown is also someone I admire. Stands his ground even when it isn't popular.

Amanda Vandstone, George Bush Senior was someone I admired, John Howard for his mental toughness, and Nick Greiner really stood up and spoke his mind well.

I would also say Al Grasby. Joh died on the same day as Al but Joh can rot in hell!

[King-Eliagh]

I would have to add our foriegn minister alexander downer too, he works hard and has a nice smile

And Downer wears high heels and fishnet stockings, thus explains why he is a Crow supporter!

[King-Eliagh]

He just makes the right decisions all the time and never waffles on, just gets striaght to the point.
