Group One - World Leader's Survivor - STAGE ONE COMPLETE

[Gustaf]

Mugabe

[Gustaf]

I'll be satisdied with Mugabe though he's hardly the only world leader from this group we'll be better off without.

Is that a vote?

Does it matter?

Isn't it time to finish this round?

[Gustaf]

I sense this is going to be a left v right round with the left going for Berlusconi and the right for Chavez. The left will win of course, just like last time we held this.

And the guy who really deserves to get knocked out this round (Karimov) will live on. Sort of how Kim Jong-Il lasted longer than Bush the first time this was held.

Anyway, while Berlusconi is a piece of crap who should go before any half-decent world leader he isn't as dictatorial (nor as bat-sh**t crazy) as Chavez. Chavez moved his country to its own time-zone to prevent the imperialist conspiracy from forcing the children to go to school in the darkness! But he didn't set the clocks right on the first attempt...And he has his own show on state television called something like "Hello, Mr President".

So, I will go for Chavez this round I guess.

[Gustaf]

Khamenei doesn't deserve to go this early. Iran's bad, but not that bad.


Aliyev as a protest vote. But Biya might be my pick next time.

[Gustaf]

Biya

[Gustaf]

Kagame, as a protest against the Saakashvili-voting.

[Gustaf]

Gbagbo

[Gustaf]

Gbagbo and Yammeh

[Gustaf]

Jammeh has introduced as official policy to murder every homosexual in the country. Seems like it should be bye-bye time for the guy. Gets my vote.

[Gustaf]

Why did no one voting for him before mention just how awful Jammeh is?

I know who's getting my vote next round...

Can't speak for anyone else, but I checked him out when I saw the last vote for him. Didn't have time to comment on it until now though.

[Gustaf]

Jammeh

[Gustaf]

I guess I'm the mirror-image of Lewis here.

I'll vote Chavez.

But I would vote Zuma if I could choose more freely.

[Gustaf]

Chavez as compensation for Berlusconi. Once he's gone we can revert to order...

[Gustaf]

Singapore isn't THAT authoritarian. It's a well-functioning country, at least, where people can live their lives pretty freely. That's better than a lot of other places in the world and still on the list.

[Gustaf]

Zuma

King Muhammed

[Gustaf]

Correa. Cocaine-grower.

[Gustaf]

I'll chip in a vote for Pohamba.

[Gustaf]

Well, well, well:

Hamad: 4 votes
Loong: 4 votes
Pohamba: 3 votes
Sambi: 2 votes

This is looking really close!

[Gustaf]

Pohamba

[Gustaf]

Ielemia

I'd like to change my vote to Hamad. I've read up on this guy Ielemia and he's ok. There are about 5 others I want gone before him.

[Gustaf]

Sambi.

But Fico is high on the list.

[Gustaf]

Btw, I personally think Gonsalves should be the next to go in this group. He seems to have rape accusations hanging over him, bad on policy and it's a joke country. But Fico is a nasty one who should go in round 21.

[Gustaf]

Has Sambi actually done anything wrong as President, aside from call himself "Ayatollah"?

That's not something "wrong".

Apparently a close ally to Iran. And Comoros doesn't seem too well run.

Yes - I was just saying. Nothing wrong with the title Ayatollah, used by thousands of Shi'ite clerics around the world (this guy isn't actually a Shi'ite cleric, or even a Shi'ite, though. Earned that nickname because he went to college in Iran. Nothing wrong with that either, btw.)

Well...depends on the kind of college. This one seemed to be a tad radical, from what I could gather.

Oh, and Fico.

[Gustaf]

Correa
Gonsalves
