[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

José Manuel Durão Barroso

[big bad fab]

Socrates

[Hans-im-Glück]

fab and Kalwejt, you begin with the big names. Sócrates and Durão Barroso aren't the best but there give worse like them.

I vote for António de Spínola

He was the first, provisional President after the Revolution. Spínola was not a part oft the group witch made the Carnation Revolution, but he was very famous and popular in the military. He resigns after his right-wing ideas have no majority in the MFA (Movimento das Forças Armadas) and then he want to make a right-wing coup attempt in March 1975.

You're right, but Kalwejt attacking frontly, I was forced to vote for Socrates. Otherwise, I would have voted for Spinola.
If this survivor isn't "popular", maybe I'll change my vote !

I don't expect that this survivor will be very "popular". Portugal isn't a big country and sometimes i think many don't know that Portugal is a country, they think this is something to eat

[Hans-im-Glück]

It's a tie.

For Sócrates, Barroso and Spínola one vote.

We need more votes or one must change his decision.

[big bad fab]

I switch my vote to Spinola.

PM Hash and Bono: they may be interested !
Or if they read this, they may say if they intend to vote in it.

(I've thought about a Portuguese one, but it's true the big number of interim guys in 1974-1979 isn't very easy to manage !)

[Bono]

Well, they all suck, but I vote for Socrates. Still time to change your vote big bad.

The people Spinola opposed were as bad as the Estado Novo people, and they very nearly plunged Portugal into a communist dictatorship.

[Hans-im-Glück]

The voting is still open for 22 hours. I write to some witch are interested by international politics

[Хahar 🤔]

Spínola

[Edu]

Spínola

[Daniel Adams]

Sócrates.

[minionofmidas]

Spinola.

[Hans-im-Glück]

António de Spínola is out

[

The result of round 1 was:
Spínola 5
Sócrates 2
Barroso 1

Start of Round 2:

I vote for:
Vasco Gonçalves

He was a General and very left-leaning. His politics polarized Portugal. I don't think that the chance was very big that Portugal going to be Communist, but he fortify the fear that this happend.

[big bad fab]

Oh yes, Vasco Gonçalves !

[Bono]

Oh yes, Vasco Gonçalves !

^^^^

One of the worst excuses for a human being ever in charge of Portugal's destinies, and that's saying something.

[Hans-im-Glück]

There must something wrong, when fab and Bono agree with my vote

[Hash]

Vasco Gonçalves

[minionofmidas]

Francisco da Costa Gomes. Who helped make UNITA.

[Hans-im-Glück]

Francisco da Costa Gomes. Who helped make UNITA.

@Lewis

The UNITA was founded in 1966 and make a secret agreement with Portuguese Government 1970 against the MPLA. The UNITA was in this time only a pawn of Portugal and later of the USA.

The politics of da Costa Gomes with Angola was not the best, but without him come the same trouble. In Portugal he wasn't so bad. His politics was against all extremists and maybe he was the best of the not democratic elected PM or Presidents after the 25. April

[minionofmidas]

The UNITA was founded in 1966 and make a secret agreement with Portuguese Government 1970 against the MPLA. The UNITA was in this time only a pawn of Portugal and later of the USA.

Yes. Or more precisely, they made an agreement with the then portuguese commander in Angola in 1970, Costa Gomes. (No doubt with the central government's agreement etc, that wasn't the point.)

Alright, which non-Communist early PM or President should I change my vote to in order to remain contrarian?

Oh, this i forget You are right, he was the man who make this agreement. I know it and forget it. I think I'm getting old

[minionofmidas]
