Biggest political hypocrite 2016

Roses Just as I am entitled to post my opinions and favourite photographs. BTW this is not a 'photo opportunity' snap with a random child.

I suppose I would probably choose the one with the most damaging potential, and for the world perhaps Trump. We haven't long to wait to find out.

For the UK, recent history says Cameron can be certainly accused of poor judgement, but I'm not sure about hypocrisy. Certainly Gove for his "experts" comment - silly little man.

But I think Farage gets my vote although he holds no power. Despicable man!!

As Ana says, we are not saying worse person in the world......but hypocrite of the year.

We who are NOT friends of Sturgeon may say what we like about her Granny23 and you must know that she is not universally popular even within Scotland, let alone in The rest of the UK. Posting a pic of a politician holding a baby has nothing to do with it.
All politicians hold babies/pat them, even The Donald.

Well said Granny23.

Grannypiper "Sturgeon followed by Corbyn, the world would be a better place without them both"

The biggest political hypocrite of 2016 is hardly tantamount to being the worst person in the world!

Is this the worst woman in the whole world?

D.Cameron big time,for reasons already given, closely followed by N. Sturgeon, again for reasons already stated. Corbyn? Not sure really, he's so out of his depth and not really bright enough to be a hypocrite! Others are just run of the mill awful, apart from Theresa May and Phillip Hammond.

Thankfully the majority of people who live in Scotland do not agree with Grannypiper and City84 but rather think that oor Nichola is the 'best thing since sliced breid', working tirelessly to protect Scotland's best interests whist remaining kind, caring and a fun person to be with. As to the question of Scottish Independence (which is of course the overarching ethos of the Party which she leads) the referendum was won by the Unionists with a series of Vows, false promises and threats - one being that the only way to remain in the EU was to remain in the United Kingdom. These promises have been reneged on since day one post Indy-ref.

I resolved to keep out of these debates on Gransnet but cannot stay silent when someone suggests that my friend is, (along with that decent man Jeremy Corbyn), the worst person in the world.

I would add Osbourne to the list of Cameron, Boris, Nicola, Farage, Corbyn, there are so many.

No intention of voting for such a one sided poll

I did wonder why IDS wasn't on the list. Terrible that he's been forgotten about already.

Sturgeon wins by a mile! She does not care a jot for her fellow countrymen and women! She is obsessed with her own fame, and going down in history as the one who bought independence to Scotland. Once in a lifetime vote? Not for bad losers like her!

Of course. It was me who started the thread!
Annie knows Mike Sivier.

It doesn't stop those nominated from being awarded the title, does it?
I assume you've also noticed that the category is sarcasm?

Sorry - that should have said "apply to Tom Pride"

My comments about Mike Sevier also allow to Tom Pride

You can vote here if you want.

It was sooooo obvious by the choice given sunseeker

I looked up Mike Sevier who runs the VoxPolitical website, judging from his writing he appears to be very left wing so I don't think much credence can be placed on his choice of Hypocrites of the year.

Corbyn

NfK dumpling I echo what you say.Trump first definitely, closely followed by Corbyn and then Cameron.

David Cameron absolutely tops my list without question. He instigated the referendum for his own political reasons and was so bloody arrogant that he assumed it would be a Yes vote. He had said that if the vote went to leave he would stay on board during the transition, but he buggered off over the horizon before you could blink. What a cowardly creep.

Three Tory , one IKIP politician, two Tory supporting news papers and trump

Very small list.
