Judging from the more political posts, all countries here have those politicians that propose legislation or inquiries - or just flat out make laws or policies - that are just to stupid to comprehend. Or shames your nation in such a way that it makes your blood boil faster then being stuck in a traffic jam friday night because Kanye West is holding an acceptance speech on the freeway.

I want a thread on these people. I want to hear why you hate them, I want to hear what retarded ideas they have put forth. I would prefer to not see any big politicians or major legislation otherwise this thread will just run rampant with people bashing or defending Obama's healthcare reforms. Local/state politicians, ministers, city council, opposition, those would be perfect.

I'd like to propose Geert Wilders myself, which some of foreigners (at least on British/German side) might have heard of.

   (Yes. He really does bleaches his hair) 

Wilders is frontman of his own party after leaving the "conservative" (we actually call them liberal but they are center-rightishly positioned) VVD to form his even more right PVV. He has gained alot of support for his harsh stance on muslim-immigration and people (Maroccans mostly) by pushing a rather anti-islamist agenda. His constant fear-mongering and subsequent popularity was a thorn in my side but last couple of weeks he managed to get completely derailed. Some of his "ideas" last couple of weeks:

 

  • During the "adression of the state" where the ruling parties present their plans and budgets for the upcoming year, Geert chipped in with a "headscarf tax". He demanded a €1000 (or $1475) permit or tax on all headscarfs. Nothing on Hebrew caps, or Christian cruxifixes because they DON'T result in what he called a "street-defiling view"
  • Continued demand for a research that should look into the cost of muslim immigration. The minister refuses thus far because the national research-organization CPB already made a similair research yet, Wilders tries to get her into court on account of not doing his administrative duties. Their own numbers thus far point to a €230.000 cost per family - without calculating the reveneus brought in by these families...
  • A research into why a lot of high potential authentic Dutch are migrating every year. His reasoning: people are fleeing the "islamification" of the Netherlands. Most people's reasoning: More interesting business-opportunities abroad, a lot of third-generation immigrants who have by now been naturalised as Dutch leaving and, according to some newspaper-reactions people fleeing the current polarizing climate of the Netherlands...

Mind you, this is just last month. His latest ideas did cost Wilders a few "virtual seats" meaning that if elections were held now he'd get 27 out of 150 parlement seats which is still earily close to the 31 he had a few weeks prior and a lot more then the 9 real seats he has now...

So, tell me, what politician aggrevates you and why?!
