Lars Lokke Rasmussen

Well, it is with a heavy heart I vote for Merkel this round. I prefer anglo-saxon social democrats over continental Christian Democrats in general and Rudd over Merkel in particular.

Though obviously there are a ton of more deserving leaders in the mix than those two. But I guess I must vote tactically.

[Hatman 🍁]

Rudd, I suppose.

[GMantis]

Angela Merkel

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Last year I went to my cottage with a couple of my Catholic friends, and much to my amusement, there was no Catholic church in the town, so they were forced to go to my Protestant Church with me. One of them took communion, the other didn't. It clearly said in the programme that all could take it.

Wrong thread.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Again Tusk

I can't vote him out of office right now, but I can try to eliminate him there

Again Tusk

Help with Merkel, and we might go after him next.

[Edu]

Oh man, i don't think i want any of these guys to win the survivor game

I don't get why people always seem to pick vendettas against the people I'd like to keep. I mean, Tusk and Merkel of all people. I think the Balkans is overrepresented right now, for instance. Cvetkovic might be good for a Serbian leader, but he's still not good.

[Gustaf]

Time to get the ball rolling on Cvetkovic. He may be good for a Serb but due to the workings of Serbian politics he is still associated with some pretty bad parties. I don't think he deserves to be on this long.

[Hatman 🍁]

Tusk

[Nhoj]

Mirko Cvetkovic.

[JWHart]

Rasmussen

[Hash]

Mirko Cvetković. His government may be one of Serbia's sanest and most decent in a long time, miles better than a fascist or a fascist-lite (Koštunica) but I get the feeling he's a technocrat and, well, all Serb politicians except the LDP are rather close-minded on the issue of Kosovo.

And he's also associated with Milošević's left-wing fascist party.

[big bad fab]

Cvetkovic

At this stage, we eliminate quite good leaders, can't do otherwise.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Angela Merkel

Cvetkovic isn't close-mided on Kosovo, he is 100% correct. Kosovo should not be allowed independence under any circumstances whatsoever. It is Serb land.

[Hatman 🍁]

I know a bit about Serbian politics, considering my ex is Serbian. Apparently Cvetkovic is the least of the evils of Serbia, and her family supported him. I would always tease her that his party was in the same international organization as the NDP, which she hated. As for Kosovo, I now recognize it, since it is no longer in my benefit to do the contrary

Angela Merkel
How many good leaders will be sacrificied in order to save Merkel?
And the Serbophobia of some here is really astounding! The most pro-European leader possible in Serbia is derided because as 90% of the population he is against the independence of Kosovo (if he actually supported Kosovo's independence he would be removed within a week). And I find it ironic that the two stating this come from a country which held a grudge for 47 years for a territory with a non native population.

i didnt vote for him cause of kosovo as i could care less about that wortless chunk of land. i voted for him because i dont feel hes deserving of winning. hes made it this far for which you i think would be happy.
and in a way you are also the one sacrificing good leaders in a failed attempts to get rid of merkel, and its not like rudd was better then her anyways.

I didn't mean you - I meant the hypocritical French posters. Yes, I agree that there are reasons for his removal, but his support of Kosovo is not one of them.
The analogy doesn't work. In order to save Merkel, you have to vote for someone else, while my vote for Merkel actually helps other leaders.

[Lief 🗽]

Merkel.

This is what happens when you silly right-wingers get rid of Lula and Obama and Bachelet.

I happen to support the independence of Kosovo, and I know you don't. But I don't want to see you get all worked up about it, so we'll leave it at that. He's a good leader, and he isn't a fascist. I think I wrote this in my post, but no, wait, I hate the Serbs. He still doesn't deserve to get the title of best leader in the world. But yes, just because I say that, I hate the Serbs.

As to your last statement, you might find it interesting to know that just because I come from a country in particular doesn't mean I actively support the policies of the government at all times and that I always fully support what some hotheads say. You're not one to make stupid inane statements, but that was one.
