So, who are no. 3 and no. 5?

Both are far left types, so kiss bye bye to your 80%  :P

Fuck, it seems like the guy I picked is the leader of Podemos. :frusty:

I have the worst taste in men.

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.

I mean, somehow I always end up going for the moderately hot, scruffy guys who are after my money.  :hmm:

I had to look up who some of them were.  :lol:

I thought about sticking to just national parties, but ultimately decided to include regional parties that are certain to score parliament seats - that allowed me to include pompadour guy :D

Voted for #2, the one who seems least likely to be a fascist.

You have #6  :P

That said, women have been making inroads into Spanish politics (nowadays, both majors of Madrid and Barcelona are women, for example), but there still seems to be a glass ceiling for them in the national arena. Socialists almost elected one as candidate in 2008, but that's about it really.

We don't really have those in parliament over here. One of the few things that are positive about the crisis in Spain is that we seemed to resist the growth of far right movements.

I vote for whomever appears to be the most conservative politician, which in this group is #2.  That sometimes leads me to the risk of voting for some far-right fascist, but they usually don't stick to conservative suit and tie combos.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

#25
#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.
