Guys, you are not allowed to post this !

Oh wait ... this is a thread that won't be terrorized by either Kalwejt or Hash because their feelings are possibly hurt.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Netherlands: Ancilla van de Leest (not realistic, you say? I guess "Rutte is fine" is a boring answer...)

"Former fetish model" would be an interesting background for a head of government. No judgment, it's just not something we've seen before. Although I guess similar could be said of Renhō, whom I was a pretty big hack for until recently.

I'll answer this myself later today.

Here's mine(Ranked from most favorite to least favorite ):

USA: John Kasich           
India: Narendra Modi
UK: Theresa May
Canada: Stephen Harper
France: Francois Fillon

What about, oh, I don't know, more moderate people? Alain Juppé(France), Kevin O'Learly(Canada), and one of the myriad of political "moderates" in India come to mind.

"Moderate" Indian political party examples:

Centrist and Center Right in America means right wing in France and a solid Torie in the UK. Kevin doesnt count as he cant be elected until 2019 which means Im basing my Canada pick on the 2015 election and the only candidate with a realistic chance of winning who wasnt a leftist was Harper.  

Modi has done a good job as PM so far and that is why I included him on the list.


When I called my self a Moderate Hero remember the original name was Moderate Hero Republican implying im a moderate republican then when trump won the nomination i got rid of the republican part as I was not a Republican for that election cycle. Then I realized that Moderate Hero and Moderate Hero Republican mean two different things and then changed my screen name again.

[TheSaint250]

US: Marco Rubio or John Kasich
UK: Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, or Theresa May
France: Marine Le Pen
Canada: Kevin O'Leary
Germany: Angela Merkel (if I had to pick)
Italy: Beppe Grillo or Virginia Raggi (just top-notch M5S politician)
India: Narendra Modi
Egypt: Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu
Austria: Heinz-Christian Strache (if I had to pick)
Hungary: Viktor Orbán
Netherlands: Geert Wilders or Mark Rutte
Venezuela: Henrique Capriles

Mine are kind of all over the place.
