Portuguese Survivor; THE WINNER IS: Jorge Sampaio

[Hans-im-Glück]

After a very close race José Manuel Durão Barroso is out




Result of Round 8

José Manuel Durão Barroso   4
José Sócrates   3


Start of Round 10

I vote for Diogo Freitas do Amaral

Only a interim PM. In reality gives 2 Freitas do Amaral. In the 70ies ans 80ies a stubborn conservative in the later times more moderate. A short time foreign minister of José Sócrates. I vote for him because of his early times

Okay, when it is in the end of the round a tie, Sócrates is out. I'm not a big fan of him. I find him only better like Barroso, but all Sócrates-lovers can vote for Freitas do Amaral and save him

[Vasall des Midas]

Not a lover, exactly. But he seems more relevant and deserving of survival here.

Freitas do Amaral.

I like Sócrates a little bit more like Mota Pinto, but i hope he will eliminate soon. Meantime I've got a allergic reaction against his name

Mario Soares. Senile self-centered old bastard. (Talking of his most recent role, of course.)

Come on Lewis, this isn't fair After the Revolution he was very good and without a man like him i don't know Portugal goes on the right way. Then the communists under Álvaro Cunhal (i don't support him, but a very important man) had no strong opponent. For today you are right, but maybe in 50 years it give people they say the same about you

[Vasall des Midas]

I don't hope to live past 70-75.

You say that like it would have been a bad thing.

Yeah, this would be a bad thing. The PCP was and is very obedience to authority, The Boss speaks and all other say yes. This isn't the world i want. You can say this is in every party the same, but in the PCP it's extreme.

Would that be the case still (post 1990, say) if it hadn't been pressed into a position where its survival is ensured and it has no chance of breaking out of its ghetto, though? No way to know...

I was partly sarcastic, of course. I know the PCP is a pretty unreconstructed Commie Party. Though a different outcome might indeed have been possible if events 74-6 would have gone differently. Oh well... I'm no great fan of alternative history, so no point engaging in writing one now.

Carlos Mota Pinto is out




Result of Round 11

Carlos Mota Pinto  3
José Sócrates   2
Mário Soares   1


Start of Round 12

I vote for Maria de Lourdes Pintasilgo

I wrote it before. She wasn't a bad woman and I like her, but now she must go. She haven't influence in the Portuguese Politics and she was a little bit to Catholic for me

Socrates...
