Credit for the title goes to the great Bacon King. The point of this thread is to summarize international elections using gifs, totally unrelated to the election itself.

To kick it off, a really recent one which is really fun:

Sarcasm is not well conveyed on the Internet.

[Velasco]

Venezuela 2013, please. Maduro vs. Capriles and Chávez appearing in front of Maduro as a bird, like the Holy Spirit.

[Niemeyerite]

Was the last one not that good or something?

Regardless, UK 2010 will be next and Adam wanted me to do Greece 2012, and it sounds fun as well.

[Niemeyerite]

It was great, but I think you should have mentioned that Maduro thought he'd win by 10-20 points and he just barely won.

Oh. My. God.

This is the best post in the history of mankind.

My suggestions: Mexico '06, South Africa '09, France '02, Canada '11, Bradford West by-election '12 ( )

I'm really enjoying this decidedly non-academic side of your political analysis, Hash. Great work.

I thought it was amazing. Good job.

Canada'11 would be a pretty depressing exercise for Hash, but it's definitely worth it, indeed!

Or if you want to smile a bit, you can do 1993 instead.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

This is spectacular.

Japan 2012?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Canada 1993 and US House of Representatives 1894 would be interesting, to say the least.
