Title: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: Antonio the Sixth on March 03, 2012, 10:28:15 AM On January 1, 2011, they were in charge of a country or of another kind of world power. On December 31, 2011, they weren't in power anymore. They have retired, lost reelection, were forced out of power or even killed. The year 2011 has brought change in an exceptionally high number of places : enough to justify a survivor. :)
I defined the country's leader as the person who effectively holds the most power : therefore, the President in presidential regimes and the PM in parliamentary regimes (but there might be exceptions). I have also added 3 people who aren't country leaders but have led equally important institutions : Dominique Strauss-Kahn for the IMF, Jean-Claude Trichet for the ECB and Osama Bin Laden for Al-Quaeda. I think the impact of these organizations on world justifies their inclusion. Zine El Abidine Ben Ali (Tunisia) - 14 January Muammar Gaddafi (Libya) - ousted from Tripoli 23 August / killed 20 October Silvio Berlusconi (Italy) - 16 November SURVIVOR You are free to vote based on the criteria you prefer, but in order to make the survivor funnier and more interesting, I'd like you to not consider a leader's personal qualities, but rather criteria like the type of events that led to his departure and its political signifiance. For example, Bin Laden or Kim Jong-Il, shouldn't be the first ones to go... Anyways, lets start. Round 1 begins, you have 1 vote to eliminate.

My criteria after you bumped the survivors is get rid of the ones that aren't president, PM, King, etc of a country and the guys who as I understand hold no real power like the Morocco guy. In fact Bin Laden is probably my next target. Apart from founding the whole DSK rape story a bit boring and what I said above, it doesn't look like things changed that much. Another frenchie is running it and Hollande still beat Sarkozy ;D If Sarkozy won reelection then maybe I could consider it's importance :P I understand your criteria about having as final contenders, some politicians who ended their jobs by some unexpected or interesting way instead of a simple, uninteresting election (of course a lot of these guys lost in elections that were anything but uninteresting) and I agree, except that i want them to be in charge of a country, not an organization. If Strauss-Kahn is not eliminated this round then maybe I'll reconsider my selection ;) Frankly I don't really have a favorite to win this thing right now, it can be several of them :P Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Round 12 Post by: big bad fab on May 31, 2012, 09:41:39 AM 2 el-Fassi

He was term limited and his party won in an expected election, hard to get duller than that and I agree with Antonio that we should try to eliminate the boring ways people lost their jobs first. Naoto kan, from what I know, just resigned and then a succesor from the same party was elected by party members. And from what I read in Wikipedia the guy announced his resignation like a month before he did it. Again, that's terribly dull. Maybe I missed some, but all the others either lost the job by losing an election to another party or by being ousted by scandals, rebellions or whatever. Which is more interesting than the two named above.

Toledo, Garcia (again) and Humala were all pretty good leaders (considering this is Latin America) and the stability is a sign that the country is moving forward.

I already told Antonio way back that I wanted DSK and bin Laden out because I don't think they belong in this list considering they don't rule countries, partly the reason why I wanted to kick out the Moroccan guy too.

Keep Berlusconi, bin Laden Because Gadaffi is the most interesting of the Arab dictators IMO. Antonio: You spoiled this a little by making Ben Ali immune for a full 5 rounds. Now he will automatically be in the final 3 without actively competing. Let us vote for him in the next round - it will provide a more fair result.

Keep Berlusconi / Gaddafi I don't use immunities any longer: it's unfair, indeed, as some occasional voters can decide a name is untouchable for some rounds and as it gives an undue advantage and kill suspense a bit. But everyone does as (s)he wants in games (s)he manages ! One other bad idea I've practised and dropped: comeback rounds ;D It backfires...

I hope you enjoyed it, even though I admit my management of it was a bit amateurish and lazy. Please feel free to comment on it (whether positively or negatively). Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: Platypus on July 13, 2012, 07:35:21 AM I skipped the final. None of them deserved to be there.
Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: big bad fab on July 13, 2012, 08:19:07 AM You should have waited for Edu and hughento before closing the round :(
Gaddafi could have won. Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: Niemeyerite on July 13, 2012, 08:53:32 AM Berlusconi is the perfect 'Survivor'. He's certainly a survivor :(

Post by: Antonio the Sixth on July 13, 2012, 09:15:33 AM You should have waited for Edu and hughento before closing the round :( Gaddafi could have won. Hugh boycotted the round (his conception of what this survivor should be is probably not the same as that of most participants) and Edu's habit of constantly voting late gets a bit irritating... I supported Gaddafi as well, but don't you think Berlusconi is a nice pick ? I personally was rather satisfied with the top 3. Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: politicus on July 13, 2012, 09:40:43 AM A fine survivor Antonio.
I think DSK would have been a more interesting survivor. His fall from grace was totally unexcepted, whereas Berlusconi had it coming to him. But for some reason some people tought this was a "head of state" thing. Among the head of state/government quintessential mad dictator Moammar Gadaffis downfall was much more spectacular, than the Bunga Bunga Mans deroute. Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: Antonio the Sixth on July 14, 2012, 05:41:43 AM I also thought DSK at least deserved to be in the top four. But Edu and others apparently had a different logic. But the members of the top 3 were all good picks and all could have made for fine winners. Ben Ali's downfall marked the start of the arab spring, arguably the most important event of the year. Gaddafi had ruled the country for over 40 years and was a worldwide infamous figure, and his fall involved a military intervention which saved the rebels from an assured slaughter, led to a month-long indecisive war, and finally ended up the way we know. Berlusconi's fall, while not exactly as important as Gaddafi's IMO, had an earth-shattering impact on Italian politics. I might have been announced, but it still triggered an amount of events which have transformed the country, ending a 17-year-long political cycle and starting a long phase of uncertainty.
Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: big bad fab on July 14, 2012, 05:23:22 PM Berlusconi is a good survivor too, because he was vanquished by markets and that was even clearer than in Greece. And, before, he seemed unbeatable... so, his quick fall was a fine event in 2011.
Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: Antonio the Sixth on July 14, 2012, 06:11:07 PM Berlusconi is a good survivor too, because he was vanquished by markets and that was even clearer than in Greece. And, before, he seemed unbeatable... so, his quick fall was a fine event in 2011. To be fair, the first signs of his demise were the massive electoral defeats of may-june 2011. He was clearly aging, losing its fantastic PR skills, failing to grasp the trends in public opinion, and desperately gripping to a political reality that was crumbling from everywhere. In short, he became a prisoner of the delusions of his past glory, at the exact moment when such glory was fading away. Had he been 2001's Berlusconi, and had Italy's public opinion been what it was in 2001, he would most probably have kept enough political capital to hold on despite the markets. Even though markets were the decisive factor, every shot he had taken beforehand (sex scandals, electoral debacles, near-collapse of his parliamentary majority) played a key role. At least, that's my reading of events. ;) Title: Re: "Lost their job in 2011" survivor - Berlusconi is the survivor ! Post by: True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자) on July 14, 2012, 07:08:23 PM Thing is, Berlusconi may yet end up reviving like a vampire who has had his stake removed. Doubtful, but I won't say he's finished until they start putting the concrete atop his coffin.
