Leo the Lion is #8 on the most powerful politicians in Europe list by Politico USA.


"The annual list is split into three categories – doers, disrupters and dreamers. Both Varadkar and Hogan are doers, according to Politico.

In the list for 2020, Varadkar is described as “The Mouse That Roared” and ranks in eighth place overall. "




According to this, Leo is a doer.


Is Leo a doer?

Doing what for who? Him and his government have nothing but take over the years.

James Brown

Well they obviously know f*** all.

Looks like Leo was late to the party.

Sinn F leader Mary Lou McDonald was the only Irish person to make the list last year while Minister for Health Simon Harris ranked the year before.

I find it hilarious - the thing that's put him at EIGHTH most POWERFUL politician in Europe is something he had zero control over nor the wit to do so if he actually had any control.
If anything, the Irish Civil service behind all governments should be at #8 as Leo was merely the mouthpiece for them in sticking to the redlines concerning the border.

And 'doer' must have a different meaning in America.

Most powerful people, not just politicians.

It also has Greta at No.20, so I wouldn’t pay much attention to that list at all.

I read that bit too but couldn't bring myself to copy/paste Simon Harris's name into a top anything list.

I always figured Leo was a taker rather than a giver.

Varad the impaled rather than impaler?:p

If you read the article it's mostly because of his stance on Brexit. I'm not a fan of Leo, but in fairness the Irish government stood firm on their position, and got a lot of backing from Donald Tusk etc. Far from the League of Nations days we are.
