Must socialist government mean sociopathic leaders?

Many eyes at the moment are on the UK's "new Labour" party leadership. Tony Blair the man who became the youngest ever leader of the "labour party" & then renamed the party which once had been a movement. He went on to become the longest running prime minister in British history apart from the historic & ghastly Thatcher, Disraeli & Gladstone.

His regime saw quite a few key incidental & tragic deaths, constitional reform in Scotland, Wales, London and the northern Ireland statelet, & a commitment to war coached in his namesake's Eric Blair (George Orwell's) "big Brother's peace".

We know he lied many times to parliament, people, party & even we presume his Queen. What made many of us choke on the splinters was his assertion (july 2004) that "he couldn't lie". In many ways his style put "sociopathy" into social democracy whilst all the time pushing a vague concept of "meritocracy"......" if you can lie through your teeth you may be one of us someday!"

my pal Steve Bell of the Guardian newspaper was the first one to notice "Blair's eye", my granny would have thought that dead give-away, "don't trust that one".

I'd like to wonder publically is this now the model for "left of centre" government? Does Mr Rabbite measure up? Has he the requisite black & dirty two forked tongue of perpetual dissemblance in his head? The electorate expects any irish "left of centre" leader to measure up after all.

So without going into specific details - i'd cite as examples od sociopathic socialist liars such luminaries as :-

Lulu in Brazil.
Gyurcsany in Hungary.
Zapatero in Spain.
Socrates in Portugal.
& I'd even go as far as including L'Obrador the losing candidate of the Mexican General Elections.

(I'll gladly justify why I include these left of centre leaders in the name & shame list of sociopaths to any commentator)

At last link to this "analytical" reminder rather than detailed "opinion" piece - my reactions to Blair's assertion that he couldn't lie nor never lied,
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/04/309961.html which I believe was based on some notion of anonymous securocratic provision (which just like in Hungary) ensure you the public get leaked the truth..... or alternative plausible version.

I can only presume this is part of a long term global strategy to stop left wing voters voting & thus deliver us in Europe the thousand year reich of cheap labour & unpopular romanians & troublesome jewish ghetto out east we were always promised....,
