Foreign leaders I like/d (I wouldn't say admire/d)...
lemme think...
Jean Chrétien maybe...
Guy Verhofstadt...
Gorbachev when I was a kid, but I share that aberration in taste with most Germans...
Mandela (hey - that was easy, wasn't it?)
Vaclav Havel...
I know that's a pretty mixed bag...

Who is Laloo Prasad?
Laloo Prasad the poster or Laloo Prasad the crook scumbag politician?
a) formerly known as Lewis Trondheim
b) the former PM of the Indian state of Bihar, husband of the current PM. Was a mobster before he became a politician, a poor labourer before he became a mobster. Leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, a key partner of the current congress government. His policy proposals are leftwingish populist anti-Brahmins. Al described him as "the Huey Long of Indian politics". Plus, he's my character in the Pawns of Power RPG.

But for his conservative voice and his stronger leadership (Italy's Olive Tree coalition was defeated in a landslide in 2001 for a reason ya know)

That reason being him owning pretty much all tv... Tongue
Actually the main reason was the Election Law and the fact that the Left didn't put up the sort of united candidacies it supports...DiPietro and the Old-Style Communists between them made Berlusconi PM.
