Stoner Sloth posted:I feel John Howard for australia would be a good candidate for a potato if someone stole his glasses Yes the Land down under is most fertile ground for the leadership of the nightshade family, as well as the much rare autoalliumophagic-faced PM. |

Once again, Potato Faced Prime Ministers of the Common Wealth Lesotho Sir Edwin Porter Arrowsmith, British Resident High Commissioner 1951-1956  Malawi Presidential Republic Malaysia Difficult, but probably Sir Edward James Gent.(1946-1948) A Number of suitable deputy prime ministers though  Maldives Didn't put their Prime ministers in easy to scan list format Malta Robert Abela (2020-)  Mauritius Sir Hercules Robinson again (1886) Mozambique No one in the current prime ministers, the colonials are all portuguese without english Wiki articles. Namibia Hage Geingob (2002-2005, 2012-2015)  Nauru Presidential Republic Dominion of Newfoundland I had to make an executive decision not to include defunct countries since there are a great many of them, but since user Free Hubcaps so kindly newfound us great PFPM candidate, I will include: Sir John Crosbie (1917-1918)  New Zealand Robert Muldoon (1975-1984)  King Edward Rating: 97/100 Centinixons Nigeria Sir James Wilson Robertson (1955-1960)  The colonial secretaries will never fail you. |

We're nearly there in: Potato Faced Prime Ministers of the Common Wealth Pakistan Chaudhry Muhammad Ali (1955-1956)  Papua New Guinea Robert L Eichelberger, Military Administrator 1944  Rwanda No-one recent and I don't care to probe the rather depressing history of the country. St Kitts Nevis Paul Southwell (Chief Minister 1960-1966)  St Lucia Allen Chastanet (2016-2021)  St Vincent Grenadines Too few to determine Samoa Tupua Tamasese Lealofi IV (1975-1976)  Seychelles Sir Bruce Greatbatch (1969-1973)  Sierra Leone Presidential republic Singapore They've had 3 PMs since 1959, it aint happening Solomon Islands If in doubt, check who was in charge in the 1970s. What was it about the 70's? Sir David Trench (1964-1971)  South Africa JG Strijdom(1954-1958)  Ending today on a banger (who would be good as mash) Potato Faced Prime Ministers of the Common Wealth |

Why you gotta assume Potatoness is a bad thing?  (nah, all good, the PMs of St Kitts Nevis have a couple of reasonable candidates, but are on average a pretty good-looking bunch) |

Did they save the best till last?

Togo Victoire Tomegah Dogbé (2020-Present)  Tonga Solomone Ula Ata OBE (1941-1949)  Trinidad and Tobago A.N.R 'Ray' Robinson SC OCC TC (1997-2003)  Tuvalu Maatia Toafa (2010)  Uganda Probably Benedicto Kiwanuka (1962)  Uk Edward Heath (1970-1974)  The full size photo on wikipedia is 10,000 x 12,000 pixels, it's terrifying. Vanuatu Barak Sopé (1999-2000)  Zambia Mainza Chona, 1st Prime Minister of Zambia (1973-1975)  That's it, everyone.
