Who’s the hottest of them all?

Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has taken the title of “hottest leader in the world”, topping the list of 172 leaders on blogging site Hottest Heads of State. United State President Barack Obama was the highest ranked leader of any G8 nation at 15th, with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong coming in at 16th.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Bhutan King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck took second and third spot, respectively, while Philippine President Gloria Arroyo is the only South-east Asian leader to make it to the top 10.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown came in at 84th behind Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who was ranked 65th, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who was rated 28th hottest.

At the bottom of the list was North Korea’s Kim Jong II, with Pope Benedict XVI one place higher. The creators of the website, “Derek”, “Kate” and “JD” said, tongue-in-cheek: “For too long, citizens of the world have suffered under the tyranny of unattractive leaders.”

“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.”
