World Leaders Survivor Redux - Organisation Thread

[Platypus]

Why? We eliminated three black leaders in round two.

That proves my point even better. A good black leader to set an example is pretty cool.

The sixty seventh round has completed, and the following leader has been voted off, after receiving the fewest votes of approval:

Johanna Sigursdardottir, Iceland: 4 votes
--------------------------
Frederik Reinfeldt, Sweden: 5 votes
Mohamed Nasheed, Maldives: 6 votes

I'm heading to Melbourne for my mate's twenty first (8/8/88 chinese kid), so the final round will (appropriately) be extended to three days.

Also, if someone wants to do bios of Reinfeldt and Nasheed, that'd be great!

What a large tie knot.

Why does this forum love South Asia so much? And why was I, a resident South Asian expert, not informed of it?

In many years, when Maldives will have been totally engulfed by the rise in water level, Hughento's 2009 World Leaders Survivor will be reminded as a great honor received by the first democratic president of Maldives !

Xahar, could you give us all that we (having voted for him or not) don't know about Nasheed ?

Well, congratulations to Hughento! Not only did you manage to lead a very lengthy competition to completion without almost any hitches but on top of that, spawned a survivor craze on the forum .
And the winner perfectly fits the principle that country leaders should be judged on their merits and not on their countries, so despite all partisan shenanigans, the forum did a pretty good job in selecting the best world leader.

And it won't fade soon, believe me...

Congratulations Hughento, GMantis is right.
I was one "hard client", but Hughento has remained zen and that was a very lively Survivor.
In Survivors, as in many things (), what is most interesting and pleasant is the process, not the result.

And the winner perfectly fits the principle that country leaders should be judged on their merits and not on their countries, so despite all partisan shenanigans, the forum did a pretty good job in selecting the best world leader.

Even if I didn't vote for him and tried (very unsuccessfully !) to oust him earlier, and whatever some may think of my ballot-stuffing, I think it's a good choice: reasonable and upon its own merits, as GMantis has rightly written.

Nasheed is a real surprise (not in the end, of course): in the beginning, nobody would have thought he could win. Johnson-Sirleaf was quoted, but not him.

You know the line about how a friend is someone you know well but like despite that?
Most of this forum doesn't know South Asia well.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about the Maldives either. (It's, what, twenty times smaller than Dhaka?) But as far as I do know, he's just an émigré (albeit one with time in the country). I don't think he'll actually do much for the Maldives, but he'll be a success if he doesn't screw up things more.

They certainly seem to know Bangladesh well enough.
