Clarification - Reg.

Teachers,
Can you please clarify following doubt?

"This is a rogue country, and the leaders too are screw loose fellows. The people are desperately in need of good governance."

What is the meaning of screw loose in the above example? Does it mean ‘narrow minded’ or is there any alternative word for it?

Is that “screw loose” expression used in English speaking countries?

Thanks ,
Shivaji
