Probably all closet gays themselves - just waiting for someone else to "come out" so that they don't have to do it alone. Problem is, no one is "coming out". LOL!

I had an inkling that Milne might of been, but am shocked that Hockey is.

Neither do I, and that is not the point her. It's just out of interest. We've had two gay PMs, McMahon and Holt, but both were dloseted.

Very doubtful.

I'm sure you'll blame that on "homophobia" or similar go-to phrase, but I base it on the laws of probability.

Theres avery small base to begin with, then discount the ones who have no interest in politics, further discount those who don't have the qualifications, then whittle away those without the personal qualities, and you've got about a 1 in 20 million chance. Still, it's a chance....

What makes you think that way? What did you think of Holt and McMahon? I thought that Holt was good but McMahon was hopeless.
