Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteGinny, I'm afraid something like this was pretty much expected here, even if speculations and predictions perhaps did not hit the exact percentages.
DeleteI am laughing my head off.. the HORROS is perfect and the short stuff is enough for me. you don't even want to try to understand our politics, no one does including the government
ReplyDeleteSandra, you're right - understanding one's own country's electoral system is usually quite complicated enough! ;)
DeleteI read the article in your link, interesting.
ReplyDeleteGlad if you didn't find it a waste of time, Terra! ;) I decided it was better to link to a well-known news site in English rather than try to explain the details myself...

DeleteSounds like like election time in NZ.
ReplyDeleteAmy - And in many other countries as well, no doubt... The closer to home, the more one becomes aware of the consequences, though!
