Don’t let the news, papers, university students, professionals protestors (aka unemployed), or traffic-copter reporters fool you, the G20 isn’t a dangerous event that is a complete waste of money. You just need to know the real reason for the shindig.
You imagine it would be like what you see from snippets of the United Nations with speech after speech and many important looking people behind the leaders looking important. Each country will take their turn in discussing mundane trade agreements and other political issues. Aside from the big boxing event which we have advertised earlier at https://www.thegurgler.com/2014/11/03/g20-event-of-the-year/ .
Or so you think.
The Gurgler is one of very few unofficial G20 websites that have been given the inside word on what actually happens.
The real G20 is set up more like the Eurovision Song Contest, in which all countries have produce a 35 minutes musical number that shows the history of their nation, and must involve at least 5 high ranking ministers, their drivers and each head of state. This doesn’t affect the overall result, it just warms up the crowd for the real event and reason for the G20.
Each G20 event, the countries meet to determine which nation is the greatest on earth, and unlike soccer in The Simpsons, you have more choice than Mexico and Portugal. Eventually a winner is decided, and that country then claims the 2.3 billion USD first prize.
There are four major rounds and an elimination round, each round has two different measures on which the countries are judged. We will now list the categories below. We will also release the results for each round every day until the eventual winner is decided.
