The sheer number of candidates has made choosing Dork of the Year (DotY) particularly difficult for 2015. Not that the problem is new because each year there seem to be even more Qualifying Dorks than the year before.
This year a few potential candidates are.
Justin Welby Archbishop of Canterbury for his outstanding ability to come across as some kind of politically correct functionary who might be a Christian but only under certain circumstances - rather than leader of the Church of England with a powerful religious message to impart.
Theresa May who seems to be tenacious enough but quite incapable of rising above the clown Corbyn and his ludicrous acolytes.
Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission who seems to inhabit a gravitas-free bubble from which he comes across as an inebriated clown. Is this the best they can do?
Laura Pidcock, the new Labour MP who promptly managed to steer political tribalism towards a new low by saying she wouldn't “hang out with Tory women” who are “no friends of mine” and “an enemy to lots of women”.
Kim Jong-un is still a young man so he has to think about his long term future. Deciding to have one would be a start. The world's last Stalinist may not be his best option but at the moment he seems quite incapable of grasping this.
The BBC. Not a person but the Beeb seems wholly unable to move beyond its politically correct comfort zone into the real world, a world which is changing while the Beeb isn't.
The UN. Again, not a person but when confronted by its numerous inadequacies one is bound to wonder if people really are the problem. Maybe it's all down to our institutions.
Suggestions welcome and the final announcement will be made shortly before New Year.

We really are spoilt for choice this year especially, can't really single out an individual without feeling that x may have been a better choice, the HOC is choca with candidates the opposition front bench alone is a leading contender, so I will go with that as it does include more potential winners than anything else can provide in one hit.
I think Michael Heseltine is a late arrival on my hymn sheet.
What a plonker, and a man who was cowardly enough to run away after stabbing Margaret Thatcher in the back, then spend the rest of his life doing nothing useful.
Yup, he's my vote.
It’s certainly a tough call. The Pope, Welby? Perhaps it’s the one who’s done the most damage to the most people.
All - it isn't easy is it? While writing the post it occurred to me again that there are too many candidates.
