### Ex-Green Party Leader Embarrassed on National TV After Gaffe
Former Green Party leader Natalie Bennett faced humiliation during a recent episode of University Challenge. The incident occurred when Bennett struggled to answer a straightforward question regarding historical figures, leaving viewers and fellow contestants in disbelief.
On the show, aired on BBC Two, Bennett was asked about a prominent historical figure related to a specific event but failed to provide a correct or even relevant answer. The moment became a talking point online, with many taking to social media to express their astonishment at her lack of knowledge.
Bennett's performance highlighted ongoing concerns about the competence of politicians. One observer remarked, "I find it remarkable that there are still people who expect MPs to know anything. The default value for most MPs these days - with a very few exceptions - is profound ignorance."

As the backlash continues, it remains to be seen how this will affect Bennett's reputation and future in politics.
