Narcissism is very much alive and well in recent Australian politics. One had only to watch Kevin Rudd's two stints at the helm.

Well, when it comes to egos, Malcolm can't fit into the same room as his?

Even so, his hands are being effectively tied and in the interests of appearing united, the extreme right wing ideologues inside the party are being handed enough crumbs to keep them inline and inside the tent!?

That said, I believe a certain amount of narcissism and egotistical arrogance is essential in a self confident leader!? Just not to the point of lunacy as described?

That said,if a high I.Q. were also mandatory in our parliaments,(pollies and public servants) we might get a better class of civil servant, better ideas and better less rambunctious more civil debate, with the fatuous self congratulatory dumb ass dorothy dix's canned!?

Gary Johns has a satirical article in today's Australian which reflects the self-indulgence and hyper-individualistic narcissism - "Look at moi ! Look at moi !" - in much of today's society: I strongly recommend it.

I think politics is the preserve of true aristocrats, hence Turnbull belongs but not ego-spivs (Rudd) and alas aging Orangutangs are unqualified.
