December is about again. Happy Birthday, Romania!
But that's not what I want to talk about. We had elections for parliament on Sunday and I'd like to make a few notes on the subject.
The social democrats (PSD+PC) "won" the elections with 33.09% of all the votes for Camera Deputatilor and 34.12% for the Senate.
The trouble is the liberal democrats (PD-L) got 32.34% of all the votes for Camera Deputatilor and 33.57% for the Senate. Yep, that's less than 1% (one percent) difference.
The bigger trouble is that the liberals (PNL) also got 18.57% for Camera Deputatilor and 18.75% for the Senate.
So, we don't really know who's going to form the government because I guess it's up to the guys in 3rd place to decide who's side they want to take. Way to go, guys, it seems YOU've WON!
An interesting fact comes from some intermediary results of votes from Romanians living abroad made public on national television (TVRI) 24 hours after votes had been submitted. Apparently only about 15% of Romanians abroad voted for PSD, not that I'm trying to suggest that they only get voted by pensioners and village people or anything like that.
All percentages above are taken from the official website of the president of the Social-Democratic Party (PSD), Mr. Mircea Geoana, and represent the situation when 99.62% of all votes were counted.
