Best BRICS leader?

[Boston Bread]

The BRICS leaders seemed like a curious bunch to do a poll on. The left will vote Rousseff, probably. But it'd be interesting who the right, especially libertarians, think is the lesser evil.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Dilma easily.

[politicus]

Dilma easily.

Despite her flaws this should be a non-brainer (but none of them are really good)

[Hash]

Bleak bunch, but Dilma is pretty much the obvious answer.

[Cranberry]

Among the blind the one-eyed is King...

[courts]

xi jinping

[Beet]

Bleak bunch, but Dilma is pretty much the obvious answer.

[ingemann]

Bleak bunch, but Dilma is pretty much the obvious answer.

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

Bleak bunch, but Dilma is pretty much the obvious answer.

[TNF]

All terrible.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Bleak bunch, but Dilma is pretty much the obvious answer.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Modi, I guess.

[H. Ross Peron]

Bleak bunch, but Dilma is pretty much the obvious answer.

If I was forced to rate:

1) Rousseff. Obviously - although a step down from Lula and her second term has all the signs of a train wreck in action.

2) Modi. Despicable scum, although hopefully he can restrain the crazier aspects of the RSS in favour of more essential things like renewable investment. (His saving grace is climate change, although I'm highly sceptical his rush to nuclear will be fruitful)

3) Zuma - rapist, idiot, corrupt moron who thinks showers cure AIDS. Mildly better than his predecessor if only because Mbeki's incomprehensibly dire response to the HiV crisis and its tragic results.

4) Jinping - vile dictator masquerading as dull technocrat.

5) Putin - warmongering right-wing scum who runs a well-armed petrostate.

[SWE]

Ugh. Dilma.

[RR1997]

Modi and Dilma are the least awful I guess.

^ More or less how I'd rate them. Rousseff at the top obviously. Modi (second) and Zuma (third) are pretty much interchangeable. Modi's bigoted views are slightly more disgusting but he seems more competent than Zuma. Xi goes fourth for being a dictator, not much else of note about him. Putin definitely goes at the bottom for more or less causing an international crisis.

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

Voted Modi.

On another note, who voted Putin?

Agreed; Modi and Rousseff can be persuaded to not be terrible, but the others are just disgusting and vile. Though I do always lol at Putin stealing a super-bowl ring.
