Just about all of them are in barren heterosexual marriages (I didn't actually go look it up though)

Why are they so inhuman? That's weird. I don't like the idea of a president without a family. Hillary having 1 daughter has always been weird to me. I wouldn't mind if Bill had a illegitimate kid or two out there actually. Shows he's human.

Trump at least has a big family.

You don't need children to have a stake in the future. You just need empathy.

Conservative former PM Fredrik Reinfeldt who governed Sweden 2006-2014 got a couple kids and that didn't stop him from being a horrible corporate panderer who introduced irresponsibly generous immigration laws and made bad cuts on military and welfare. His wife divorced him while he was in office too.

Also, our Prime-Minister isn't the Head of State.

nah, I probably won't have kids so that's one thing, but a head of state not having kids is really fishy to me.

too damn fishy. Sorry, if you think I'm a bigot, but I wouldn't trust a head of state that isn't a family man or woman.

And yet most of those people are more trustworthy than Trump and have higher approval ratings than him. Wonder how that happened. :v Trump has more kids.

probably because there are still monarchies in lot of places in europe and they don't want to give the impression that they want turn their offices into dynastys? voters might be averse to that, consciously or unconsciously. just a wild guess, i dunno.

Three of the four biggest countries listed are not monarchies

This reminds of the controversy surrounding Andrea Leadsom's comments in the leadership contest about Theresa May not having kids. I'm not sure who is the more terrible of the two though. Possibly Leadsom, and that's saying something.

Good for them, assuming they don't want kids. If they have wanted to but haven't succeeded, that is unfortunate for them, but if they don't want to, they have my approval as a fellow not wanting kids person.

Dogshit. There are plenty of parents who show little sense of having a personal stake in their own children's future, or any sense of citizenship or civic pride. It's a lie that people with kids always care about their country's future, or that people without kids never care about what kind of world they want to leave behind.

Having children, for most people, is a lesson in humility. Arrogant technocrats tend to lack that quality.

Ignorant, subhuman worthless delusional person's assumption on what "liberal values" might be?: have sex, "abort and murder" (this is either pointlessly redundant or factually unsound) baby, then pretend its not a human being.

Still pretty ad hominem to try and disparage their political beliefs because of their family status is dumb. I'm sure all clergy are horrible too because they are childless, right?

I'm just surprised he doesn't burst under the surface tension. If you were to ask him to name his choice of the five presidents of the United States with the worst track records in power, I'm betting each and every one of them would happen to be a "family man" -- as if it ever prevented arrogant and/or incompetent assholes from sitting in the White House, or somehow guaranteed humility and wise leadership.
