I'm going to take a gamble on this one and pitch for Jan Žižka z Trocnova a Kalicha, because since his name is Polish, it most likely sounds like the clues you gave earlier.

Czech.

Gordon Strachan.

[Board Game Geek]

He has a bobble eye, knows fck all squared about anything, he has a high powered job in the government, and his name rhymes with frown
This fellow has only ONE bobble eye and his first name rhymes with Cordon

One bobble eye
Job in government
Last name rhymes with frown
First name rhymes with cordon.

Well, this isn't easy, because there are several politicians with visual impairment problems in one eye.

• Mohammed Omar, Taliban leader and former head of state (lost one eye due to a shrapnel injury).
  
• Golbery do Couto e Silva, chief of staff of Geisel and Figueiredo administrations (blind in one eye).
  
• Jan Žižka z Trocnova a Kalicha, czech general and Hussite leader, follower of Jan Hus. He took part in the civil wars in Bohemia in the reign of Wenceslaus IV. Legal records from 1378 mention Jan Žižka z Trocnova, hinting that if the nick-name žižka meant one-eye, early chronologer Aeneus Sylvius Piccolomini, Pius II was correct in stating the loss of the eye was the result of a childhood fight.
  
• Jean-Marie Le Pen, Member of the European Parliament and three-time presidential candidate (blind in his left eye).
  
• Moshe Dayan, Defense Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister of Israel (lost his left eye in World War II).
  
• Nick Griffin, Chairman of the BNP, is blind in one eye, following an accident in 1990 involving a shotgun cartridge.
  
• Moron Clown, British Prime Minister, is blind in one eye.

I hear your question, but I'd like to take the time to point out that the net change in percentage gain over a 3 month period, a year or so ago clearly shows that if I answer this question I'd be open to having to answer all sorts of questions, unlike the opposition who, under the last administration, also ducked the same sort of question but in percantage terms did it far more often than I ever did.
