Ten solid years of Mrs Margaret THATCHER, at the helm of OZ ? More than likely there'd be no more 'King Hits', squandered public monies. There'd be a doubling of the Defence Forces budget, every single copper would be equipped with a, H&K MP10 - wow, we'd clean up the streets and all the violent crime then ! Sorry there folks, a slight slip in my thinking, caused by both my aspirations and creativity materializing again ?
Someone mentioned Hitler ? Sure in the early thirties he managed to drag Germany from their national depression and give them some hope. Then he managed to plunge the country into a massive world war ? I'm not entirely sure if Nelson Mandela would be a front runner ? A great man for the Republic of South Africa, though...?

JoM, if you consider Maggie Thatcher as a mere 'figurehead' then what would you call some of the weak men who preceded her, and a few after her as well?
She was so far from a figurehead that it makes your comment seem almost insane! I look forward to our first black, gay female PM. Certainly, any future female leaders could only improve on those that went before them... Posted by Suseonline, Monday, 6 January 2014 8:58:39 PM

Well Suse, you had better wait for a conservative. Every lefty female PM, or state premier has been a total catastrophe.
It does appear that almost all lefty ladies have too big a chip on their shoulder, to have any room left to support society. Posted by Hasbeen, Monday, 6 January 2014 10:29:40 PM

I would be happy with a black, gay, female Conservative PM,
Hasbeen, I'm not fussy : ) Posted by Suseonline, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 1:29:21 AM

Belly Gandhi was a soldier in South Africa who fought "Kaffir" uprisings, he genuinely disliked Africans, described them as inferior and he wasn't a champion of non violence but civil disobedience, he had no problem with armed struggle.
The Truth About Gandhi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG2bKiRu48Y See this is why he's more myth than man, Gandhi is only a peacemaker in the minds of White liberal minded people, the Western Liberal narrative has nothing to do with reality. As the presenter said "Heroes and idols diminish the worshipper". Posted by Jay Of Melbourne, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 5:33:10 AM

I do like Maggie, but she only sorted out the UK.
Haber is definitely in there as is Einstein, but there are many more.
Na, it is too hard for me to get to just one
