Talk:List of physically disabled politicians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Criteria

Do we really want to have this list? Possible problems with the list: the criteria are rather fuzzy -- what is a "significant disability"? (Does JFK's war injury count?) Also, I expect it will always be US-centered... --Austrian 20:49, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Haidlmayr

I am not sure if it can be said that she is not a member of parliament despite her disability. I do not want to claim that she is in parliament because of her disability, but it certainly played a role in her being nominated, as fighting discrimination of the handicapped is an important topic for her party, the Austrian Greens. --Austrian 20:49, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I've changed the wording to "while having", to make it less of a cause-and-effect thing. Bearcat 04:58, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
