German politicians

We Ausländer aren't allowed to vote, yet we pick up everything on German politics on a daily base just like the Germans. If you were to pick your two favourite German politicians, who would they be? And the two you dislike most?

My favourites: Renate Künast and Christian Ströbele
The ones I dislike most: Roland Koch and Angela Merkel (although it's a hard choice between Roland Koch and Guido Westerwelle, but as I said only two)

Just curious,

2 is not fair!

It was a hard choice but in the end on the HATE list it has go to be

Schwesterwelle: The smarmy fucking creep who gets more of a stiffy from shafting the poor than his "Top Manager" in horse racing boyfriend.

Koch: Who is largely responsible for stoking up racism amongst the middle classes by basing his election campain for the State of Hessen purely on the issue that non-Germans should NOT have it easier to become citizens.

On the "I'd maybe give ya a hug if I was off my face like" list are:

Renate Schmidt, Federal Minister for Families and former SPD candidate in Bayern who once said of Bavarian Prime Minister Stoiber: "He is so vain he thinks the cock gets up to crow for him every morning!"

Claudia Roth: A Green from Bavaria, never afraid to stand up for minorities even when it is NOT trendy to do so.

And that's a representitive from the 4 largest parties covered, how democratic!

Had a weeklong fling with Merz's little daughter Carola back in 2000. I guess I'd have to say him...

I worked with Angela Merkel's brother at Mannesman in Frankfurt, don't know much about her, but he was a complete wanker

Koch is apparently all buddy-buddy with the Dalai Lama.. Beats me what the Dalai Lama gets out of hanging around with this creep. He must truly be an enlightened holy man to stomach this.

I don't follow many of them because German politics to me is somewhat dull but I do like Joshka Fishcer as he did smoke dope when he was young.

Dalai Lama likes to hang out with the big names like.

Kohl is responsible for a lot fo the problems that Germany is in now but I don't despise him as I do Koch and Schwesterwelle.

There all twats...

Ummm... I have a confession to make

For 16 years I was the next door neighbour of the British Green Party Transport Spokesperson (and former Chair of the committee that once represented a leader). We shared a garden together. One day in about 1983 or maybe 1984, this nice German chap came to visit. We talked, drank beer and I... well... I... you-know.

Of course we had no idea he would go on to become that big. Nice bloke though. I still can't understand how he ended up as a politician... far too human.
