Anyone with any sense knows there's a massive gulf between the public image of our politicians, and the real people below the surface. If you're going to reach the zenith you need to master the chameleonic arts, and few do it better than Futurama's cadaverous tech mogul.

A sweet old lady to the world at large, Mom is cold hearted and vicious when the cloak is dropped – just two of the characteristics that could provide you with the cutting edge you need to win.

She has a ruthlessness when it comes to her foes that nay would-be leader would do well to utilise, and her grasp of 31st century economics is undeniable. With qualifications like hers, you'd be nigh on unstoppable.
