He won't reply.

All he knows how to do is post memes and op eds from conservative blogs.

He has no opinions of his own.

I'm not following properly - your ex-Deputy PM has come out as a serious Climate Skeptic? 

Really?

Barnaby Joyce is not the sharpest crayon in the box.

Strange you had someone like that almost at the top of your system.

Or was he simply pliable and dark forces got him there?

He was second to Tony Abbott.

A climate change denying, misogynistic, idiot.

You think people elect intelligent, competent leaders?

Justin Trudeau is a rare gift to the world.  Angela Merkel is a force to be reckoned with.  Macron has had no scandals or cockups.

Name three others.

I may have posted you this before - the leadership roll call of a typical English-speaking society:

1. Theresa May, Supreme Leader (for a few days more). As pure as the driven snow. Conservatives
2. Nicola Sturgeon. As pure as the driven snow. Scottish Nationalists
3. Arlene Foster. Agressively heterosexual and as pure as the driven snow. Democratic Unionists (ie the Irish anti-nationalists)
4. Liz Saville Roberts. As pure as the driven snow. Plaid Cymru (ie the Welsh Nationalists)
5. Caroline Lucas. Green Party (in a civil partnership?)
6. Ruth Davidson. In a civil partnership. Scottish Conservatives.
7. Maggie Chapman. As pure as the driven snow. Scottish Greens
8. And one other - Jeremy Corbyn - hated by Americans. Labour

Okay, once again - I can't tell if you're joking.

You started that list with Theresa May, that is odd.

Nicola, I agree with.  Good choice.

Arlene Foster; anti gay marriage, anti abortion, leader of a party of ignorant, bigoted creationists.  Seriously?  Thank God she's not actually the Irish PM!

I stop the list here, because I realise you have misunderstood the terms of the challenge.

I meant world leaders.  Not leaders of political parties.

And if Arlene is on your list - you and I will have to simply agree to disagree right here on the definition of intelligent.

I didn't really post that list in answer to your challenge "people vote for intelligent competent leaders".

Arlene Foster; anti gay marriage, anti abortion, leader of a party of ignorant, bigoted creationists.  Seriously?  Thank God she's not actually the Irish PM!

I'll wait for your considered opinion on the murderous threats coming out of the government of a nuclear armed nation (the only such in the Middle East) one that is practising Lebensraum along with mass-murder and expulsion of  faith minorities.

Nothing remotely like that ever been going on in or coming out of Northern Ireland!
