Thread O Elections


Recommended Posts

General election today in South Africa. Looks like a shoe in for the ANC, continuing their 30 year unbeaten run. The most interesting thing to look for is how far they drop below 50% of the vote (last election was their lowest, at 57%).

Ongoing election in India just now, the largest democracy in the world. Finishes on Friday, abs almost certain to be another Modi government. Fun fact: the Indian parliament has fewer seats than the UK parliament.

ANC just about managing to keep above 40%, and will probably have to go into coalition, either with Jacob Zuma's splitters, or the communist party. 

India finishes today, and Mexico tomorrow. Mexico is sure to elect their first ever female president. 

Wiki says that 27 candidates have been killed during the campaign. That is grim.

Does yer boy Modi think he’s doing a good job? Place is just a big toilet isn’t it? 

Well he seems to think he's sent from God, with a 'non biological' birth, and everything he does is what God wants for India.

I'd say he's not short of self confidence, and he probably thinks he's doing a great job.

India is a burning garbage dump of filth and rats. 

Unless you're there on business, in which case it's an isolated bubble of opulence and grovelling servants.... and outside that bubble it's a burning garbage dump of filth and rats. 

Also, don't try to get anything delivered via Amazon to anywhere in India... you're just wasting your time.

Bad news for incumbents who were guaranteed to win. 

In South Africa the ANC lost about 1/3 of their seats, mainly to Jacob Zuma's party. Ramaphosa stays president, but probably won't last.

In India polls were showing that Modi's alliance could get 380 seats, but they've ended up with less than 300. No real change expected though. His own party won't have the majority they expected.

Anyone watch the US debate last night?  Seems that Biden struggled just a little. 

The Don is about to make America great again again.

its by far the earliest that they have ever had a head to head tv debate

this was done purposefully

the genpop had to see Biden's decline now, so that the Biden / Newsom switcheroo can be done in good time
