I remember Muldoon speaking at the university when I was a student, several years before he became PM. He was so incredibly rude to to the student organisers that I made up my mind then that I would never vote for his party. I had a couple of women friends who thought he was incredibly attractive!
It seems that Winston is similarly polarising: while anyone with a brain loathes him, there is a coterie of middle aged women who find him so attractive that they support him no matter how offensive he is.
Yeeaahh...nah, I never got that whoie finding a rude,offensive person attractive regardless of how physically attractive they might be, thing at all.
If someone is rude to people- especially someone who is a prominent figure for whatever reason - then that says everything you need to know about them.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
