Vote for president here (...of the world)

[Jonathan Ainsley Bain]

This thread is something I have wondered about for some time now.

 

[buddhist]

"I agree to have a planet President, as long as it's me."

 

[Shadow Wolf]

If those were my choices and I had to pick, I'd let a dice roll decide for me.

 

[Godobeyer]

I vote Vladimir Putin.

 

[Nietzsche]

Queen Elizabeth is the best option here, she doesn't, you know, disgust me. I don't know super-much about Zuma, but I still say Queen Liz simply because, well, experience.

 

[Valjean]

What are the powers and duties of this world president? What are the checks and balances on power? What enforcement powers would s/he have access to?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Which one is likely to die the soonest?

 

[Revoltingest]

I vote Vladimir Putin.

Same here.
Only he could rule with the iron fist needed to get all Umpteen billion people in line.

How come I'm not on the choice list?

Until your trial for fraud committed by MetisUniversity, you're on hold.

I think it's your headband. It just doesn't look 'presidential.'

 

[Altfish]

Please can we have a "definitely none of he above" option?

 

[Willamena]

Heck, if it's for the whole planet, I'd choose some random 10 year old* and put them in charge.

*Perhaps by lottery.

But obviously I am a blooming idiot, so doesn't that qualify me to be at least president of the U.S.?

Well, you wouldn't be the first one...

Based on their political compass I'd be curious how @Rival or @Revoltingest might take the world leadership, them being polar diagonal opposites but similar in at least one spectrum to me (a lot of us). Authoritarian left and libertarian right is very intriguing..

 

[LuisDantas]

Angela Merkel.

If I MUST choose one of those odd names offered in the OP, then it is Queen Elizabeth for me. I think I can trust her to establish some form of Parlamentarism or other way of delegating and distributing responsibilities.

 

[Jedster]

The Beatles singing about the Queen
It won'tplay in the UK ...LOL

 

[suncowiam]

Kim Jong Un

Let the anti air gun rain on any that even thinks of opposing him.

@metis is also a good pick. I'm sure Sanders will be his second in command.

I've given thought to running Americastan, but not to running Worldistan.
It would be different because I'd have to address autonomy of areas with
cultures & legal traditions which are very non-libertarian. If I ever get the
job, it would require a long research & design phase beforehand.
