Dean Barrow is basically yet another joke country leader who slipped through the crack, but regardless....

Angela Merkel.

[Lief]

Dean Barrow. We can eliminate Merkel late.

[Χahar]

Rasmussen is a joke.

[Platypus]

Rasmussen is a joke.

Is that a vote?

[Gustaf]

Dean Barrow is probably the least deserving leader on the list. So he gets my vote. Though I must say it is saddening to think what this list could have been with Bachelet and Obama on it. And even sadder to think what it will be once Merkel is voted off.

José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

[big bad fab]

José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

My motives, with the first 3 really important:

- A braking and "conservative" behaviour inside EU institutions (Gonzalez time is long gone): the major disappointment, I think.

- Bad management of the economics and public finances: Aznar wasn't better, granted, but no one tried to smooth the big housing and financial bubbles and not even the Partido Socialista Obrero Espanol since the mid-2000s. Spain's economy is currently among the worst with Latvia, Ireland, Portugal and Hungary.

- Inconsistency on regional and nationalities issues (Basques, Catalunia): a more surprising disappointment.

- Gesticulation on social and moral issues, which has hidden bad economic management: a bad habit of South European socialists (France, Greece, Portugal, Spain), as they believe they are so able to be viewed as really progressive, even if they let the economy behave as it can.

- After Aznar's harsh policy, Zapatero's one towards immigration wasn't better: just take in whoever wants to come: no problem in big growth times, a big issue now with the creation of a lumpen-proletariate that the government is unable to protect (not an important motive to oust him, though, as no leader and no party have a real and fine solution).
