ConservativeElector2 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 For anyone who's following the Madrilenian regional elections, here is the best site which updates it's count every few minutes. https://resultados.elpais.com/elecciones/madrid.html On a side note, Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP) the kind-of governor of Madrid, is one of my favorite politicians in Europe since a long time and I think she'd be superb as Spanish prime minister one day.

I'll start: -Winston Churchill -Charles de Gaulle -Arnold Schwarzenegger -John Diefenbaker -Peter Lougheed -Hussein, King of Jordan -Lee Kwan-yew -Paul Kagame -F.W. De Klerk -Edward Heath -Mike DeWine (mostly due to COVID handling coverage) -Yulia Timoshenko I think that's a good start. You're move! That's certainly a good list and thank you for providing it. I'll give you credit for showing right-wingers you appreciate - at least a bit. That's constructive!. Lastly I wouldn't include Yulia Timoshenko, but okay. Today I won't come up with a list anymore, but maybe when I have the time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have gotten the chance today anyway, but thanks for the reminder. Here I've put up a list of people, generally associated with the left of the center, who I view positively for varying aspects but mostly derived from their personality, trustworthiness etc. I am sure I forgot some people, but yeah I tried my best... Let's start with what I'd call the favorable opposition in the US and let's move on to the stage of world politics afterwards. Modern US: Walter Mondale Andrew Yang Al Gore Chris Todd Dianne Feinstein Jay Rockefeller Blanche Lincoln Steven Chu Antony Blinken Benjamin Harrison Rutherford B. Hayes Lula da Silva (Brazil) Arnaud Montebourg (France) Fleur Pellerin (France) Katharina Barley (Germany) Dietmar Bartsch (Germany) Eleftherios Venizelos (Greece) Manmohan Singh (India) Hatoyama Yukio (Japan) Shimon Peres (Israel) Susana Díaz (Spain) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with his climate activism, but he was way better at that than the Fridays for Future movement. Oh and I should mention the whole list is in no particular order.
