Round ONE is open. Vote away.

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

[Antonio the Sixth]

Excellent idea, Hash ! I was waiting for this one...

Also, I vote Pétain, obviously.

[big bad fab]

Pétain

Maréchal, nous voilà... contre toi !

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Maréchal Henri Philippe Pétain

[JWHart]

Pierre Laval -- slimier than Petain, as collaborationists go, and part of the government that screwed the pooch in the first place. (While Petain certainly deserves to go down next, he at least has the excuse that French defeat was inevitable by the time he took charge.)

[Edu]

Pétain

[big bad fab]

Pierre Laval -- slimier than Petain, as collaborationists go, and part of the government that screwed the pooch in the first place. (While Petain certainly deserves to go down next, he at least has the excuse that French defeat was inevitable by the time he took charge.)

Laval is a ing bast*rd, granted.
But Pétain used his glorious past to lead French people towards the path of Collaboration. He chose it and decided it, even without Laval's influence.

Laval did it more from an international viewpoint and analysis: Germany had won.
Pétain did it with more internal motives: to put an end to the Republic. It may be worse.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Pétain did it with more internal motives: to put an end to the Republic. It may be worse.

Agreed. Pétain was a reactionnary ideologue, and he clearly created the "Révolution Nationale" and the "Travail, Famille, Patrie" dogma. Laval was probably far more disgusting because of his will to collaborate more and more, but at least his choice was a pragmatic one.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

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

[Hash]

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.

[Edu]

How easy it is to pick leaders at the start of the survivor games

Laval

[big bad fab]

Laval

He made sure that Jews from his village of Châteldon hadn't been deported... whereas he lended all the French police to help realize the "rafles" and get rid of Jews:
until the end, he was a"negotiator" even with human lives, just for his own little political interest. Really frightening.

[Хahar 🤔]

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

[JWHart]

Pierre Laval

[Antonio the Sixth]

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.

[MaxQue]

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

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

Excellent.

Nobody ever deserved to die. But I don't understand what you could find "fascinating" in this disgusting fawning b*stard, responsible of the death of thousands of people....

Maybe his political career ? I try to guess.

Somewhere between a typical Radical from 3rd Republic and leftists-turned-fascists Déat and Doriot.

And so, a far more dangerous guy than weak Daladier, Chautemps, etc and than stupid collaborationists who wouldn't have been so harmful if Pétain and Laval hadn't let them act and hadn't used them.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, agreed. I just don't like the word "fascinating" used for him.
