[Australia Network Han Shenyi compiled the report on January 18] Australia GetUp organization recently released a network investigation report. The report, which surveyed nearly 30,000 people, ranked Australia's most unpopular right-wing politicians. Among them, Interior Minister Peter Dutton was elected the most unpopular far-right politician without any suspense. Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who has always been controversial, followed closely behind.
Since we talk about unpopular politicians, there are more people on the list worldwide. The current US President Trump (Donald Trump), former President George W. Bush, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former British Prime Minister David Cameron, etc. are all regular visitors to the news media and netizens.

According to the Australian News Network on the 17th, GetUp organized a vote online this month calling on Australian netizens to vote for the most hope that he/she will be kicked out of parliament's list of far-right politicians in the upcoming federal election. The vote has been closed recently and has attracted nearly 30,000 people to vote. The voting results show that the current Interior Minister Dutton, who has always wanted to be prime minister, has become the most unpopular politician in the hearts of Australians with an absolute advantage of votes (22,028 votes). Prime Minister Albert won 15,932 votes, ranking second.
Faced with this bad result, I only seemed dissatisfied with it. He said: "GetUp has always been affiliated with the Greens and Labour Party . It is an organization run by far-left extremists, and it is an honor to contradict extremists like GetUp.
Except for Duton and Albert, other politicians in the rankings have far lagged behind in the number of votes. Among them, George Christensen, the third-ranked controversial parliamentarian, received only 6,090 votes, while former Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, who stepped down in the "missie" scandal, received 5,065 votes, and current Prime Minister , Morrison , had only 3,835 votes.
Although, as Dutton himself said, the investigation organized by far-left activities was biased, Dutton was never a popular federal politician. In August 2018, Dutton, who wanted to "seize power", failed to challenge former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull within the Liberal Party, and then former Treasury Secretary Scott Morrison joined the competition and eventually won the position of party leader and prime minister. The ambitious Dutun did not recover from then on and continued to serve as Minister of the Interior.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Dutton had talked about his political philosophy on radio as early as April 2018: "People don't have to be loved in politics. I never regarded politics as a show or reality show of Big Brother. You need to make difficult decisions because you stick to your beliefs and beliefs, and people will eventually respect you. But if you want to be a popular person and try to please everyone, you will end up doing nothing in politics. I think these people will ultimately not survive."
In the Essential poll that month, only 3% of respondents said they were more inclined to choose him as prime minister. By comparison, Tan Bao's approval rating was 24%, then Foreign Minister Bishop (Julie Bishop) was 17%, and former Prime Minister Albert 11%. From this point of view, this Australian politician is really not very popular.
Trump and Bush Jr. are not popular.
If you turn your attention to the United States, the current President Trump is often criticized by the media and the public. In fact, he has become one of the most unpopular presidents shortly after he came to power. According to the cheatsheet website, he has actually become even more annoying since taking office. He and his administration can do something great to turn things around, but it's hard to see that happen as scandals pile up.
At the same time, as of January 18 local time, some US government agencies "closed" and entered the 28th day, which broke the 21-day government shutdown record when Clinton was in power in 1995, and became the longest "closed" government in American history. In response, a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that although Trump repeatedly accused Democratic lawmakers, more than half of the American people believe that Trump should be responsible for the government's shutdown. According to the US website CNBC, Trump's approval rating has dropped by 3% to 39% from last month, while his opposition rate has risen by 4 percentage points to 53%.
Unlike Duton in Australia, Trump himself is still very concerned about the attitude towards polls. According to Daily Nation website, as early as December last year, Trump celebrated his new poll on social media "Twitter" to reach a 50% support rate. According to RealClearPolitics.com, Trump's approval rating surveyed by all other polling companies such as Gallup (Gallup) is much lower, with an average of only 43%. In response, the president once again stated on Twitter that his poor data was caused by an increasingly deep investigation into alleged inappropriate (or even criminal) ties between him and Russia. He also emphasized that his poll should be 75%, not 50%.
Apart from Trump, his political enemy, Hillary Clinton, is not very popular. It is understood that Clinton served as the first lady, senator, and later as Secretary of State, but we all know that she failed to serve as president in the 2016 US election. Cheatsheet said Hillary Clinton would immediately become the least popular president-elect of all time if she was elected President-elect in 2016. People really don’t like her, and that’s one of the reasons she lost to the only person who is in many ways less likable than her.
To talk about the most unpopular US president, it may be only George W. Bush can compete with Trump. Many years ago, a polling agency conducted a survey and released the least popular president of the United States in 50 years as Bush, who had the lowest approval rating in the polls at 47%. George W. Bush (George W. Bush) is the 43rd president of the United States. In the 2000 general election, he was elected with a narrow advantage. The 9/11 terrorist attack occurred in the first year of Bush's entry into the White House. He then launched two consecutive wars in , Afghanistan, and Iraq. In 2004, Bush won re-election by a narrow margin again, but his approval rating began to drop sharply. Bush Jr. was also widely criticized for his slow response to handling Hurricane Katrina, which killed 1,836 people. In the penultimate year of its term, the United States fell into its worst economic recession since World War II.
It can be said that during Bush's tenure, he caught up with many unlucky things, and the way he handled them was not very good, so it was not surprising that he became the most unpopular president in the United States.
Cameron was selected as the worst since World War II One of the British Prime Ministers
UK, which is also a close ally between Australia and the United States, and politicians here often become the target of people's complaints. More than two years ago, theresa May, the current Prime Minister who came to power after the Brexit referendum, began to preside over the UK's Brexit process. However, in recent times, the Brexit agreement has been delayed and has also hit hard on its government and personal support ratings. Even so, she is not the least popular British politician—her ex David Cameron received this "honor".
According to a previous report by the British "Independent", former Prime Minister Cameron lost in the Brexit referendum, making him the third worst prime minister in Britain after the end of World War II.
A study shows that history will be bad for Cameron. About 90% of the scholars interviewed believed that the referendum was Cameron's biggest failure, and one of them concluded that the failure was "the biggest failure that a prime minister had encountered since Lord North lost America was forced to resign in 1782."
In the study led by the University of Leeds, the researchers asked scholars involved to rate 13 post-war British prime ministers, and found that Cameron performed particularly poorly in "foreign policy and the role of Britain in the world", with a score of -67. In terms of overall approval rating, he ranked higher than Alec Douglas-Home, the Conservative Prime Minister from 1963 to 1964, and Anthony Eden, another Conservative leader from 1955 to 1957. It is reported that Aiden's controversial handling of the Suez Canal crisis has discredited his reputation and his term as prime minister ended.
However, Cameron's bad luck saved Brown (Gordon Brown), who served as prime minister in 2010, who ranked third in the worst prime minister in the then-investigation and has now fallen to fourth place.
: When talking about unpopular politicians in the UK, another former prime minister, Blair (Tony Blair), was not spared. In fact, Blair was once "glorious". As the youngest British Prime Minister since 1812, Blair, who was only 44 years old, boldly reformed and received praise after taking office in May 1997. He has since been re-elected in 2001 and 2005. As the first three-time Labour Prime Minister in British history, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that Blair is the most popular British Prime Minister in history.
However, in recent years, he has begun to lose his health in the later years, and has been criticized and scolded.
Why is this? In fact, Blair firmly followed the United States to launch the Iraq War during his tenure, which led to public grievances. After leaving office, he provided consulting services to many foreign governments and large international companies, squeezing away the personal resources of his government office, and making him despised by the people. In addition, his scandal with Wendi Deng made him the target of media strife.
The way of voting is elected determines that politicians must pursue the support rate of the people. In this process, some fail "strikes" and some fail according to the rules. From this point of view, perhaps the "personality" of a good prime minister and a good president is only temporary, and the good and bad of politicians can change with the changes of history. The support rate of former US President George W. Bush, who was in office, began to recover after more than ten years. Perhaps the final evaluation of politicians can only be left to time to complete.
