Iceland PM 169th hottest world leader

Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson does not fare particularly well in HottestHeadsofSta­te.com’s “scientific and unbiased ranking of world leaders in order of hotness”, placing 169^th out of 199.

“For too long, citizens of the world have suffered under the tyranny of unattractive leaders,” reads the quirky website. “Some people say that this is just the way things are: unattractive people have a death grip on the levers of power that will never be loosened. We say: Not with that attitude it won’t. By ranking the world’s leaders by looks, we hope to heighten voter awareness of this problem and shame the citizens of countries with unattractive leaders into rising up and staging coups or something.”

Topping the list is Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, King of Bhutan, followed by the President of Mexico and King of Spain. Kim Jong-un, Supreme Leader of North Korea, is ranked as the least attractive leader of them all.
