What's wrong with 1979? even if you don't like Thatcher, the election was pretty interesting, represented a lasting shift in politics and while Thatcher was favored, there was still some doubts. And you can even watch the election night on Youtube.

2001 was boring, it was another labour landslide, few seats changed hands and it was really just a continuation of Blair

Not complaining, just asking.

No need to argue, Edu: it's always the same debate.

Those who vote for "ideas", "politically" and those who vote out of historical interest.
Partisan hacking is really boring after all those survivors...

The same with 2000 US presidential election ousted very early or even Cheney as VP (he was the most powerful, even if he was a b*st*rd).

Of course, 1979 should be eliminated in many, many rounds.

2001

(PS: the problem in this survivor will be more that the "manager" hasn't finished many of his survivors...)

LOL

I vote 2001 again.

And i still would like the reasoning for voting 1979, though i feel it will be what i expect

100% with Edu on this.

EDIT: that means I vote 2001

It's funny that i and others are criticised for voting to eliminate 1979, and yet officepark isn't criticised for voting to eliminate the even more interesting 1964.

It's funny that i and others are criticised for voting to eliminate 1979, and yet officepark isn't criticised for voting to eliminate the even more interesting 1964.

He usually does this, so it's nothing new, but he is just one guy, there is no real danger of him ousting an election by himself right now. If there were 2 or 3 other guys voting for it i would react the same way.

If not check out the US elections thread and watch how he voted like 50 times for 1992 with little success until just a couple of rounds ago when there are more or less 10 elections.

And if you think that i love Thatcher or something then you are terribly mistaken, as an argie i have quite a bit of practice too in hating her

People can vote for whatever reason they want, i have varied my reasons for ousting people in different survivors many times. I was just curious if the reasoning was the expected one of "I hate Thatcher" or if there was another one for it, that's just it
