Re: Èlection '08: The good administrator or the ideological comrade?
In normal politics I would go with #2. Rather a functional system that needs some fixes, than an incompetent mockery of what I belive in.
Of course if both are so bad that they need to be removed by a coup I rather take the incompetent one...
I like competence what more can I say
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

I suppose it depends on your ideaology but i was just thinking for me no.2 guy could be someone like Hitler, now obviously any bumbling idiot who thinks like me would be the obvious choice for me over hitler, unless i guess we were threatened by something worse than hitler.

Re: Èlection '08: The good administrator or the ideological comrade?
In the current UK political situation I'd go for No.2 since there's no noticable ideological difference between the big parties anymore.
If we actually had some real options, I'd go for No.1
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Yeah Hitler fits the bill for #2.Originally Posted by LittleGrizzly
Robert Mugabe would be a good example of #1.

Are you telling us that he doesn't get things done or that he's your ideological counterpart?

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Well he's utterly incompetent, but because he's seen as a freedom fighter etc, a lot of people still like him...
Take his land reform, for example. A lot of people would agree with the principle. However, the way he went through with it was a complete mess...

What, the intimidation, siezures, putting miners on the best land in Southern Africa? Besides, it did exactly what it was meant to, it kept him in power.
"Bob" is another version of 2. I'd vote one, if he's completely incompetant he won't have any effect at all, ergo nothing will get much worse. He'd be replaced by someone more competant from his own party over here anyway.

Re: Èlection '08: The good administrator or the ideological comrade?
That's the issue with #2. It's not merely that one would disagree with him but because one thinks that their political ideology is the best for country and self. Why would you choose #2 if you believed he would utterly ruin your country?
As someone else said though, times of crisis and war are different.
I say this from an American view which believes that government is a necessary evil of sorts. If I was Russian I doubt I'd have the same view.

Re: Èlection '08: The good administrator or the ideological comrade?
Probably #2 here for me since #1 will make such made mistakes that your beliefs will end up being mocked and probably won't be able to remain as a popular one until quite a long time off into the future

Too late, comrade. You are objectively a traitor to the cause, and you had better cooperate in your own trial so as not to harm it any further.Sounds more like Trotsky vs. Stalin.
