Poll -- Who in your opinion is the current leader of the free world?

[Baht Simpson]

In my lifetime I cannot recall ever being so poorly served by our supposed leaders. It's just a litany of one bad politician after another, with even worse waiting  to grab power. Just a succession of populist, politically polarised, self-serving, clueless, uncaring oafs. 

 

It's so depressing.

Khun Prayut Chan-O-Cha 

 

 

He was certainly better than many people gave him credit for. He walked the line between China and the US far better than his successors. He handled Covid well. He didn't impose a remittance tax on my money from abroad. He largely kept Immigration unchanged (very important to me). And if I had him among the choices for leaders on this list, he beats 80 percent of them.

Well, he's definitely the smartest of the three. But nothing free about what he's leading. 

 

Xi isn't that smart. It's just that everyone else is that dumb.

The current leader of the free world is Volodymyr Zelensky.

What a buffoon. 

 

Nothing Vance said was untrue.

Yet the left embraced Dick Chaney and his feckless daughter for supporting the ridiculous Harris-Walz

For the moment, IMO, no one stands out

OK, I can see that trump won the most votes here, but after the events of the last week, that is objective incorrectly. Perhaps he's bucking to be leader of the autocratic world though.

 

So with Trump eliminated, who else?

 

Well, I had voted Zelinsky but perhaps a better answer as suggested here is Macron.

What about Hunter?

Maybe this new guy in Germany will turn out to be the leader of the free world instead of Macron or Zelinsky.

Thankfully, the Trump-Vance-Musk backed neo-Nazi party in Germany didn't win.

That would have been another disaster to add to the Trump disaster.

Silly poll. There is no "free world", so no leaders of one, IMO. Had the poll asked who is the leader of the western world, I might have thought about it a bit.

On that I can agree.
