Unbelievable.

Ginny, I'm afraid something like this was pretty much expected here, even if speculations and predictions perhaps did not hit the exact percentages.

I 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

Terra said...

I read the article in your link, interesting.

DawnTreader said...

Sandra, you're right - understanding one's own country's electoral system is usually quite complicated enough! ;)

DawnTreader said...

Glad 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...

I couldn't have chosen a better cartoon to depict a coalition government. I hope your politicians are honourable enough to make it work.

DawnTreader said...

So do I, Pauline! So far we're still in a deadlock and no one knows what's going to happen.

Sounds like like election time in NZ.

DawnTreader said...

Amy - And in many other countries as well, no doubt... The closer to home, the more one becomes aware of the consequences, though!

I was following on the news here. It seems as though the whole of Western Europe is moving politically to the right.

DawnTreader said...

It certainly does, Graham, and I have to say it scares me a bit how quickly we seem to forget about the 'extremes' of the past.
