We Need Better Leaders

We Need Better Leaders
(inspired by zebo's comment about replacing politicians with gibbons.  Ta, mate)

Clearly, today's world leaders aren't getting things done (or, conversely, are getting horrible things done).  The up-and-comers on the horizon don't look much better, so maybe it's time we look to the vast richness of fiction to find our leaders.

For my money, New Zealand couldn't do better than Esmeralda 'Granny' Weatherwax.  Her no-nonsense approach to life, tempered by a sometimes cunningly concealed high level of compassion for all live things would fit the bill nicely.

Is there a fictional character you'd like to see run your country?
