Which political or public figure can you not stand to hear from?

Tony Blair.

Today says Corbyn become PM would be a 'dangerous' experiment yet it'd be nice if someone reminded him how his experiments went i.e Iraq and also claims he's disliked because of his three Labour victories than Iraq. Yes, of course Tony you dick.

Another vote for Tony Blair here.

He still won't admit that he was wrong over Iraq. This week he came out with some shit like "Britain severely underestimated the effect our actions would have in Iraq". No, Britain didn't - he did. 2 million people marched in London begging Blair not to go to war in Iraq, but he didn't listen and went ahead with it anyway.

Now, almost 15 years later, still nothing good has come from the Iraq war. We've had thousands of dead British soldiers, thousands of dead American soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis - and we haven't found a teaspoon of sugar, let alone a weapon of mass destruction. All we've done is increase tensions between the middle-east and the UK and America, and let a whole bunch of people die in the process.

I just wish he'd own up to his actions. Tony Blair was a pivotal figure in allowing all of this to happen, but he continues to shrug responsibility and seems to blame everyone else. If he's not going to apologise, I'd rather not hear from him again.

How have we gotten through three responses and the name Donald Trump hasn't been brought up yet? Or does he not qualify as a politician?

Also, pick either Bush.

Trump and Clinton are liars and cowards and neither of them will agree to debate Bernie before the California primary of the convention. Fuck the oligarchy. Bernie 2016

None of the three responses were from Americans. So not necessarily surprising.

That being said, I'm not American and he gets on my nerves. Though he probably wouldn't be the first person I'd choose.

Trump and Clinton aren't even the top of the list when it comes to political figures who make me cringe. They're certainly the most noteworthy, and the fact that one of them is going to be our next president is downright terrifying, but we live in a nation that has the following people:

Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin
Ted Cruz (pick your insane belief)
Sarah Palin (literally everything she's ever said is insane)
Nancy "We have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it" Pelosi
Joe "Carbon is not a pollutant" Barton

Of course, Trump and Clinton are completely awful but there are some people in congress that are full blown nutjobs. Ted Cruz highlighted that excellently in his presidential campaign.
