Premier Campbell Newman
A truly ethical politician exemplifying his and his party's commitment to democratic government
The South African publication Business Day suggests that,
'Megalomaniacs abound in politics/medicine/finance- experts say disproportionate numbers of pathological narcissists are at work in the most influential reaches of society such as medicine, finance and politics'
'Megalomania is a psycho-pathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, or omnipotence. 'Megalomania is characterized by an inflated sense of self-esteem and overestimation by persons of their powers and beliefs''.
I. B. Weiner/W. E. Craighead, The Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology: Vol III (2010) p. 977
'The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the *great men of history.'
Bertrand Russell
Based on performance so far one could be forgiven for thinking that Queensland's latest megalomaniac is a diabolical reincarnation of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham (Brisvegas).
* GREAT (adjective) relatively large in size or number or extent; larger than others of its kind
