The most fascinating politician of 2023 will be (drum roll, please) (Washington Examiner)

The most interesting politician to watch in 2023 will not be Donald Trump or Joe Biden, and it won't be upstarts Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) or Minority ...

If he decides to run for president, his upbeat style and focus will stand out, and his winsome approachability will be a formidable asset. And his preferred approach is not to divide-and-conquer, but to unify and build. If he chooses to weigh in, his influence could be decisive. He’s a solid conservative through and through, with a stellar lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 89.86%, putting him among the highest-ranked of all senators. The attention will be well earned. Instead, what gives Scott heft — and what might make him a formidable presidential candidate if he chooses to brave the Republican nomination minefield — is his combination of substance and demeanor. His language is not martial, but redemptive. But Youngkin, in just his second year in state office, would be hard-pressed to mount a national campaign. Ted Cruz is a hyper-ambitious hard-liner. The externalities of what the Left would call his “identity” do help make him more noticeable, but they aren’t what makes Scott so fascinating and influential. Ron DeSantis is a hardball operator. Nikki Haley is a deftly calculating tactician.

He also entered the political cauldron in 2001 as senator for the Democratic Left Alliance Party, before taking on the role of president for the Polish FA. Confounding the old saying, Blokhin is a jack of all trades and master of one or two. After hanging up his boots in 2003, the ex-striker was elected to the Senate as a representative for French-speaking liberal party Mouvement Réformateur (MR). Regarded by many as the greatest footballer who ever lived, Pele has enjoyed a diverse career since retiring from the game in 1977.

After various managerial spells including positions with Japan, Iraq and Fenerbahce, Zico announced his intention to run for the FIFA presidency in 2015. The former forward entered the political arena in 1970, joining the Independence Party and becoming the councilman for Reykjavik.
