What's your opinion on #8? Cherub-looking curly hair guy. I think he would be a good ideological fit.

He's a liberal, leads the party of the hot lady from the Catalan election thread.

Too fat. :P

Might be the photo, he isn't chubby at all.



Not cherubic. He is not fugly, but nothing to write home about either.

#2 is a conservative Basque nationalist.

The tie+suit combo is likely to land you a conservative nationalist/regionalist in Spain, too.

Woah, that's unexpected. I voted for him because he looks like a stereotypical Eurocrat.

Yeah, he looks like an accountant.

Based on looks, my choice was between no. 3 and no. 5. Went with no. 5 (the guy with beard, medium length hair and red disheveled tie) as he is wearing a shirt and a tie so is unlikely to tax me at 80%.

So no love for the pink frames?  :P

Is Old Dude w/ blue tie the current PM?  He looks the least poserish.

No HOTT babes.  :(

And as soon as I opened the thread and started looking at the picks, I immediatly pegged #3 as the Marti/garbo/gay male choice.  :P

I ended up voting for the Separatist :(.  I thought I could trust him.  He gave off a sort of Nixon vibe.  Pasty, flabby and riddled with phlebitis.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Went with #7 (specs, grey beard, blue suit/tie). He looks like he's a smart, altruistic person and not a power hungry, corrupt asshole.

He looks a lot like my alcoholic stepfather did when he was coming off a bender, except a lot happier that Dad was when trying to sober up.

With no hot babes in the running, I went with #3 'cause he looks like a younger version of me, but then I realized that #5 looks even more like me.

Martinus suddenly finds you more attractive than before.

Just so you know, polls are predicting a dead heat between the ruling conservative PP party, the socialists (PSOE) and the liberals (Cs), with 20-25% of the vote each, with far left Podemos a little behind with around 15%. Both traditional parties (PP and PSOE) have nosedived in the polls throughout the past few years, as the recession and endemic corruption scandals have ravaged voter confidence in the parties that have ruled Spain since we became a democracy.

Whoever wins will need to get a coalition going, so although I'm expecting a conservative-liberal coalition, it's still all up in the air.

He's actally the living embodiment of the "grey bureaucrat" trope. No personality, no passions, no curiosity, no charm and no drive whatsoever, running for years on the sheer inertia of status quo.  :P
