After the current pro-Indy left minority Catalan government (the pro-indy left/right coalition broke down a couple years ago) failed to pass the budget, they called a snap election, which is being held on May 12. And in languish tradition, here we are to fake-vote for people on account on how they look.

Also, there's a non-zero possiblity that this will be followed by a "Vote in the Spanish election" thread, given how interesting (in the Chinese curse meaning of the word) things are down here at the moment.

Last guy looks like an awkward nerd. So I vote for him. :P

(Of course he'll probably be either a loon, or a racist fascist, or both :P )

I was going to vote for the brunette, but then I saw the prominent cross necklace and switched to the blonde.  :lol:

I voted for Trudeau's catalan half brother.

Huh - lots of guys wearing suits and ties.  I'm perplexed.

What's with all the facial hair on catalan politicians?  Does no one know how to work a razor?

So between #4 and #8 - never go with the guy with the red tie.  That in my experience either means a leftist, or a Trumpist.

#8 it is.

It's 2024.
Beards are pretty standard.

I think similar on blue ties. Always a risk.

I should have noticed that :D

Tbf many non-nutter women wear crucifix necklaces over here, they were very traditional accessories up until very recently, and many will have one that belonged to their mothers or grandmothers.

But yeah, in the brunette's particular case, let's say she would be OvB's pick.

Yeah to be honest I would not normally read a cross necklace as Christian. But that's possibly in part because I literally don't know any actual practicing Christians (but know some cross necklace wearers) :lol: :ph34r:

I think it depends on age for me.
20-something woman with a cross necklace: Probably a fundamentalist (assuming the rest of her clothes are conservative of course. I have ran across the occasional goth or other sort wearing one just for fashion).
50+ woman with a cross necklace: Very probably just something that belonged to her mother or she got as a teenager or the like and in no way indicative of her beliefs.
