Still relevant.
My first attempt to go "with stupid" = 1 point. Perhaps I'll stick to being boring and predictable for this round.

1 Name a political ideology!
The leftwing ideologies were the preferred answers I got with Communism getting 11 votes and Socialism got 3. Other than that only Liberalism got more than one vote. To understand TMM's answer you have to note that Google translate gave me current instead of ideology and so the question first was phrased with that.
Spoiler 11x Communism
3x Socialism
2x Liberalism
1x Anarchism, Caliphate, Die Extreme Mitte, Redcurrent
2 Name an African head of state!
Jacob Zuma was mentioned 7 times. Robert Mugabe and Queen Elizabeth, II who is head of state of 16 countries but none of them in Africa, were mentioned twice each.
Spoiler 7x Jacob Zuma
2x Queen Elizabeth II, Robert Mugabe
1x Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Ebola, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Goodluck Jonathan, Guy Scott, Idriss Déby, Nelson Mandela, Pierre Nkurunziza, Salva Kiir Mayardit
3 Name a country that still has the death penalty!
The obvious pick here was the USA. If you did so you get 14 points, if you didn't you can already forget about this round.
Spoiler 14x USA
2x China
1x Botswana, Iran, ISIS, Singapore
4 Name a country in which the USA is currently or has in the past fought a war!
No other country is/was involved in as many conflicts as the USA so you've got a plenty of options to choose from. The majority decided for Iraq which the USA occupied from 2003-2011 against International law together with the coalition of the willing. Other than that Germany and Vietnam were mentioned three times.
Spoiler 8x Iraq
3x Germany, Vietnam
1x Afghanistan, Britain, ISIS, Republic of Texas, Sultanate of Morocco, Syria
5 Name something a member of parliament never should do if he wants to keep his job!
I expected a variety of answers here and I wasn't disappointed. Murder was the most mentioned with five mentions. Die and Commit a crime got two. Other than that the participants got a lot of creative ideas on how to quit your job as a member of parliament with action.
Spoiler 5x Murder
2x Commit a Crime, Die
1x Being Honest, Go on a killing spree releasing thousands of crazed elephants into the capital city and firing the country's entire military arsenal at the Moon., Increase Taxes, Masturbating while holding a speech, Resign, Send dick pics, Sex Tape, Start a war between Singapore and Texas about Pierre Nkuruziza's comments on redcurrents, Throw fried rice and/or a burning box set of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels at the deputy prime minister, Upset the people of the country, Whistleblow
Selwink and sieve can both repeat their win of last round and also win this round together with 42 points, the highest score reached in any of the five rounds. SN defends his leading position in third with only two points less.

There wasn't any doubt before this round that SN would win, with strong round he confirms his ambitions and takes the win 20 points ahead of Selwink who could jump on the podium after two wins in a row. OZrocker looses his second place in the last round but still finishes strong as third. Roturn misses the podium with only one point. Sieve gets fifth despite only taking part in four rounds, that is a very strong performance. matt17br is sixth and marcovdw seventh. A devastating last round makes jihardy drop from the podium into eigth in the last round. The Hobbit is ninth and fjhoekie and trekbmc share the last spot in the top 10 with exactly 100 points.

Well, I thought that everyone would have chosen Being Honest as the last answer, but hey, I finished 6th! With my first pick, communism, I would have been 4th,but still.

Only one damn point in it through the whole game. Next round I'll be going for the win again though, so it'll be you and Knockout fighting it out.

It won't change the game a lot, considering how it went before

Exactly 100 points. Fjhoke and I are the most skilful there.

Indeed it is.
I was also playing to go for the TMM style of playing when setting the questions, rather than not being involved at all, but hopefully most people stick to the actual point of the game
Round 1 - Cycling 2014
All questions refer to the 2014 Men's road race cycling season.
1. Name a monument winner
2. Name a rider who failed a drugs test
3. Name a rider who rode for a WorldTour team for the first time
4. Name a rider who rode for a WorldTour team for the last time
5. Name a rider who finished a Grand Tour without winning a stage
