Since we are basically all political junkies (the reason d'etre for this forum), I was wondering if any real life political leader reminded you of yourself? If so, who?
There are three real life leaders I see a lot of similarities to myself, if not politically, then in temperament and character. The four leaders that remind me of myself, in order from greatest, onwards are:
1) Gordon Brown - Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (2007-); Chancellor of the Exchequer (1997-2007)
2) Stephane Dion - former Canadian Leader of the Opposition (2006-2009)
3) Richard M. Nixon - President of the United States (1969-1974)
4) Albert Gore - Vice-President of the United States (1993-2001)
Of the three, I am closest ideologically to Gordon Brown. He has been an inspiring figure for me. Many of his so-called "personality flaws" are ones I share as well. The fact someone like him can succeed in politics gives me hope for the future!
