Yulia Tymoshenko, PM of Ukraine

So who do you think is the hottest world leader? Vladimir Putin? Barack Obama? Nicolas Sarkozy? They are not even in top ten.

Take a look at the Hottest Heads of State blog. “For too long citizens of the world have suffered under the tyranny of unattractive leaders,” it says. “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.”

Obama is at #15 and Putin at#18.

At #3 is the King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.

At #14: Mohamed Nasheed, President of the Maldives.

The hottest head of state, according to the blog, is Yulia Tymoshenko, Prime Minister of Ukraine. This is how the blog begins her profile: “Ukrainian Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko may be hot now, but for most of her life she was very, very obese.”
