European Elections

Keep going. You got this.

 

You know sh1t, sit down

 

Gotta say, seeing liberals around the world getting frustrated by the ever increasing right-lash is extremely entertaining. In the end, their unhinged responses and attempts to over-correct will just result in digging themselves a deeper hole.

Keep it going, fellas.

 

Dummy you are having an opinion about stuff you know nothing about

Trust me nothing about this election is about left and right. You are applying the little knowledge you have in general to a subject you know even less

The right winger is pro free housing and social programs. That is a thing you call people communist in your neck of the area. PNL and PSD are more free market than him

 

Romanian presidential election is on Sunday.

latest polling from well reputed AtlasIntel shows Simion and Dan tied with 48.2% support with a MOE of 2%

 

I'm currently in Portugal where there is an election tomorrow. I've only seen posters or activity from three parties: the Socialists, the far right and the Communists, none of which are favoured. What I have found interesting is the far right party was most prominent in the Algarve in the far south, while in Nazaré on the Silver Coast north of Lisbon I've mostly seen posters/billboards for the socialists and a few for the communists.

 

Nicusor Dan is president so the moron Simion got defeated badly.

54-46 will end most likely

Fukcface even tried to declare he actually won Trump 2020 style, but he was very upset when he declared that, so no one believed him, haha

 

No. The liberals in Portugal gained seats and the Polish liberal was first in the first round race.

 

Per the Economist

The liberal favourite stumbles in Poland’s presidential election

It was no surprise Rafal Trzaskowski, the liberal mayor of Warsaw, finished ahead of Karol Nawrocki, the candidate backed by the main hard-right opposition party, in the first round of the country’s presidential elections on May 18th. The surprise was that the margin was so tight. With nearly all districts counted, Mr Trzaskowski has taken 31.4% of the vote, compared with 29.5% for Mr Nawrocki. Polls beforehand had put Mr Trzaskowski much farther ahead. For the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, which is counting on the Warsaw mayor’s victory to push through its stalled agenda, the result is a worrying sign.

Turnout in Polish presidential election looking strong, and seems to be favoring the centrist/liberal mayor of Warsaw

As of 12am, the turnout in 🇵🇱 presidential election is 25%, is 4-5pp higher than in the 1st round. Good for @trzaskowski_

The higher, the better for him. 72% turnout is considered be safe unless something goes completely wrong and/or pollsters have got it all completely wrong https://t.co/gkJO4WByKS

Two unofficial exit polls at 7pm have the results at 50.1% and 50.3% respectively for PO (Tusk's) candidate Rafal Trzaskowski.

 

Kinda curious to see what this means vis a vis the EU. From what I hear he’s still anti Russia so if he has Trump’s ear that may be positive.

 

Well… That sucks! Polish electorate is a weird body.

 

Well, we Dutch are going to have elections in october/november this year.

Dutch politicians slam Wilders as cabinet falls

The Dutch Cabinet collapsed Tuesday after far-right PVV leader Geert Wilders abruptly withdrew from the four-party coalition, drawing a storm of reactions from political leaders — some furious, others relieved.

Caroline van der Plas, leader of the BBB, sharply criticized Wilders’s decision — and the way he announced it. “There’s no room to even talk about it. And then he puts it on Twitter,” she said. “You don’t govern a country via Twitter.”


Van der Plas accused Wilders of prioritizing his own agenda over national interests. “He’s not putting the Netherlands first, he’s putting Geert Wilders first. He’s breaking a promise to his voters. He said he would fight for stricter immigration policy, and now none of that is going to happen.”

She said the BBB believed Wilders’s demands could have been met by his own asylum minister, Marjolein Faber. “But he doesn’t care. We can say whatever we want, but he had already made his decision.” She added that the BBB would hold an emergency meeting with its ministers Tuesday morning.


CDA leader Henri Bontenbal called the PVV’s departure “reckless and irresponsible,” accusing Wilders of placing party over country “in internationally uncertain times.”

“For a year we’ve had to witness political amateurism, and the Netherlands came to a standstill,” Bontenbal said. “PVV, VVD, NSC, and BBB were mostly busy with themselves and not with the future of the Netherlands.”

He said the coalition’s collapse had further eroded public trust and defended the CDA’s opposition role as focused on building “a decent Netherlands.” He also condemned Wilders’s use of social media to steer policy: “He went into this exercise only to walk away from it. He has been abandoning the Netherlands for two years.”

etcetera...

 

Caretaker role, so ideally no controversial matters are being done until the next government is in charge.
This means 4/5 months plus the time needed to form a new coalition government.

VVD leader Yesilgöz doesnot want to be in a next coalition with Wilders again.
Yesilgöz says this in an interview with De Telegraaf. Yesilgöz calls the PVV leader "an incredibly unreliable partner". She also says that the Netherlands needs "mature leadership". She decided this after a consultation with many party members last week. According to her, none of them wanted to give Wilders a second chance. Because of the decision, the chance that the PVV can participate in the next government coalition is small. Last week, the cabinet fell after the PVV left the coalition. Other parties also say they do not want to govern with the PVV.
