Great news from Slovenia! Pahor and Sarec will go to the ballot for the president election and both are from centre-left.

Probably - I hope - Pahor will win the ballot :d

Anyone can beat Cristina to be honest... we will see realistic election results when she isn't around anymore.

You are rigth but there are important defeats without her, like Menem in La Rioja.

But that's another dinosaur :p I think cambiemos won mostly because of distaste for some politicians rather than people turning all to "liberalism". It's all about Cristina... people in Santa Fe for example don't vote for Rossi, they vote for her and people that vote for cambiemos there, also vote... against her.

Well but that dinosaur won for 10%diference in the Primaries elections, do you think this is liberalism?, there arent any argentinian liberalism who considerer this goverment like liberalism, for me is a moderate socialist goverments, for another liberals is a marxist- not Leninist goverment, is less statist like the montonerism goverment of Cristina and thats a good thing for the people who thinks like me.......but its far away of a goverment like we want.

I agree about is all about Cristina and the kirchnerism, you appoint the example of Santa Fe, is funny because the satafesism vote on purpose Rossi for being the wortst peronism candidate in Santa Fe to lose the elections after, is the third time they do this.

It hasn't been full liberalism yet because they didn't have much power in congress until now. Cut subsidies, cut taxes, pro-market reforms, less power for workers unions, those are the laws that are coming and they are textbook liberalism. It is isn't "libertarianism" if you want, but still, saying it's socialist is a bit ridiculous.

Politics :facepalm:

 

Now that we finally have a new government after the elections (months ago), some ministries will get a new name. The most important one: the Ministry of Safety and Justice changes names to.........Ministry of Justice and Safety. And yes, that is going to costs millions of euros because paper for letters, envelops, all kinds of signs, accounts, email addresses etc have to be changed. 

 

Come on :facepalm:

The states regulation of everything continues, the fiscal deficit is still very big, without the taxes for the minery and the exportation of agricultural products, there arent any cut taxes, in fact we still having one of the biggest tax presure in the world, the union workers have in your country  more power than in the mostpart of the world, i dont remember that like a liberalism rule, its a necesity in our country.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
