[Hash]

Round ONE is open. Vote away.

Of course, it's very simple and I vote for the traitor. Henri Philippe Pétain.

[Hash]

I hate both Laval and Petain, but this time my vote goes for (or against) Balladur

What? Faced with fascist collaborators and traitors of all stripes, you choose a mediocre '90s right-wing Prime Minister?

[Hash]

On the day of the Revolution, the bastard Pétain is eliminated.

Round TWO is open. Vote away.

Still simple, let's go for Slimy Bastard-Fascist Collabo-Traitor #2, Pierre Laval.

[Hash]

Laval was quite a fascinating person. He didn't deserve to die, but he doesn't deserve to stay on here.

I'll count that as a vote.

[Hash]

The other fascist one, Laval. And you can take the Quebec ''city'' named Laval too.

Laval isn't a city, it's a bedroom.

[Hash]

Laval eliminated unanimously.

Round THREE is open. Vote away.

Still simple, let's go for Slimy Bastard-Fascist Collabo-Traitor #3, Pierre-Etienne Flandin.

[Hash]

If there is one Vichyist/Collabo in government, it's not Besson, it's Hortefeux. He's pretty much an avowed racist and would have been the first to join on the "travail, famille, patrie" bandwagon in June 1940.

[Hash]

Flandin is eliminated, after a close contest with the kinda-collabo bastard Darlan

Round FOUR is open. Vote away.

Now, I vote Darlan.

[Hash]

Darlan eliminated unanimously.

Round FIVE is open. Vote away.

Another collabo: Camille Chautemps

[Hash]

Chautemps is out quasi-unanimously.

Round SIX is open. Vote away.

Collabos are out, but we still have a few 3eme guys who voted full powers. I vote for Fernand Bouisson, not the level of a scumbag like Pierre Laval, but his government included future collabos and he voted full powers.

[Hash]

Bouisson is out.

Round SEVEN is open. Vote away. I vote for Joseph Laniel

[Hash]

Pinay is our first post-war leader to be eliminated, and not a bad thing.

Round EIGHT is open. Vote away.

I vote for Bidault, fab echoed the reasons last round.

[Hash]

Bidault too

Former resistance leader turner "Algerie Francaise" fanatic, sad thing

Of course, being a resistant is good and all that, but I hate the idea that being in the resistance makes one the 8th wonder of the world and an automatic candidate for Sainthood.

[Hash]

Bidault too

Former resistance leader turner "Algerie Francaise" fanatic, sad thing

Of course, being a resistant is good and all that, but I hate the idea that being in the resistance makes one the 8th wonder of the world and an automatic candidate for Sainthood.

I never claimed such thing

Never said you did, either. I'm just noting something that annoys me in general.

[Hash]

Apparently was PM for about a week, so he barely counts.

Two days, actually June 8 to June 10.

[Hash]

And until recently, French war movies (aside from the war comedies) practically denied Vichy and collabos. Their line was that all French were OMGBRAVERESISTANTSOMG!!1!! and Germans were evil Nazis.

[Hash]

Bidault's out, and turnout was great!

ROUND NINE is now open, vote away.

JWHart is right, time to get rid of a caretaker technician. Frédéric François-Marsal.

Apparently was PM for about a week, so he barely counts.

Two days, actually June 8 to June 10.

Wikipedia says for little more days: 8 June 1924 – 15 June 1924

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frédéric_François-Marsal

I trust French Wikipedia more. I think English Wikipedia counts slightly more days since they calculate until the official formation/nomination of the next cabinet, rather than stopping at the resignation of said cabinet.

François-Marsal was a "technician", and was obviously a caretaker until the Cartel des gauches formed a government (it was right after the left's victory in 1924).

[Hash]

Marsal is out.

ROUND TEN is open, vote away.

I vote for Sarrien (vote changed from Steeg)

[Hash]

I changed my vote to Sarrien, and Sarrien was dumped.

ROUND ELEVEN is open, vote away.

Théodore Steeg

[Hash]

Steeg, another caretaker, is out.

ROUND TWELVE is open.

I'll go for a biggie. Guy Mollet.

[Hash]

A big one, Mollet, is out.

ROUND THIRTEEN is open, vote away!

[Hash]

Monis

[Hash]

Yay a tie. Voting period is extended for a few hours, then.

[Hash]

Yay a tie. Voting period is extended for a few hours, then.

Just for formality: what would you do in case of tie later?

Coin toss, heads or tails.
