Vote in the Catalan regional election!

Incidentally, the cutie is in a dead heat for 2nd place with candidate #5, according to most polls.

Who is #6?

You are number two.

What do you mean?

The correct answer was "I am not a number, I am a free man!"

Number 2. He looks like an archaeologist.

Bet he could kill us stone dead from boredom at 60 paces explaining dialectical materialism.

Yup, he's a far left journalist/writer. He's easily the leftiest candidate in the list. The leave the EU, leave NATO, collectivize everything, let's-dance-around-the-funeral-pyre-of-capitalism, type. They are not even communists, that's *too* establishment, but a weird mix of post-communism and post-anarchism.

Ah, so he's north-korean

I'm voting for the last guy.

Really men - is it so hard to wear a suit and a tie when running for office?

Except that guy and a couple of others, they are all left wingers 

The suitless photo-op to look more relatable to the voter is pretty popular around here though.

I don't want my politician to be someone I can have a beer with - I want a smart and talented leader.

Which may explain my fondness for Harper.

Given the way some of the Catalan intelligentsia dress I don't think that the suit+tie litmust test is a valid one.

He's a pretty extreme case, Larchie 

Funnily, he teaches at both of my alma maters; Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Columbia in New York. I used to go to Columbia's gym wearing Barça shirts, and he did the same. That's how we "recognized" each other as Catalans.

He's a funny one, though.

First pic doesn't show for me

There's nothing about a suit that says smart and talented. If anything it's the opposite.

He might mean the pics of men with suits.

Happy to say that based on what I have seen I would seriously consider voting for her party if I was Catalan.

Seems like I've seen her somewhere before.

Besides being rabidly anti-nationalist, they are liberals but slightly weird liberals. They favor labor reform, reduction of red tape, liberalization of the economy, etc... but conversely are for a very strong welfare state.

Hey nobody's perfect.
