First exit polls for our parlamentary elections todays. 

 

GERB - 32,5% (Right, Euro, Conservatism). Our ruling party of PM Borisov, who have won every election since it's creation in 2007, bar the last presidential one in november. And their 4th time in 4 Parlamentary elections over 30%.

 

Socialist Party - 28% (Left, Socialism, leans pro-russian). After their win in the Presidency, they had plans for a win here, but still they almost doubled their score from the last elections, which were an all-time low for them after a string of horrendous decisions. Guess many bulgarians have short memory.....

 

DPS - 10% (Turkish/Gipsy minority party). - Slightly less than what they usually do

United Patriots - 9,5 % (Nationalism, Euroscepticism) - Expected a little higher, again slightly worse than last time.

Will - 5% (Nationalism, Populism) - New party by a businessman. I thought they would get a better result to be honest. 

Reformist Bloc - 4% (Right/Center, Euro) - 4% is the barrier for election, so they could very well go out when the official results come in.

 

As for coalitions, the most likely would be GERB + Patriots + Reformatic Bloc +/- Will.  Even without them, the other 3 will have majority. A pretty good chance that GERB will do all the ruling, while the smaller parties just bring in the numbers. 

 

The other coalition Socialists + Turkish, won't have a majority of votes and i don't think any of the other parties want to work with them. But still there is a possibility if the others don't reach an agreement, they'll give them a cabinet without a majority.

Any of these parties offers any solutions to the migrant problems?

More specific? Nothing new than what it already is.  We have the wall with Turkey, which is patrolled by the army. There isn't much traffic like in 2015 that's for sure. Plus the bigger problem was always with Greece, which have horrendous control.

Good news from Bulgaria, bad results for UP and Volya

[lapaj 380]

In Hungary the socialists criticize the fence. They say that is useless, but I never heard their solution.

Is there no a party in Bulgaria which would destroy the wall? That is a good news.

Yes, noone has said they don't want the wall, that would be suicidal for them.  Our Socialist in contrast have said they want to extend the wall and not accept the relocation policy of the EU, much like a nationalistic party. 

 

By the way with the official results one party fell bellow the 4% barrier and we will have only 5 parties, which would bring up the seats for the top 2 parties.

GERB - 32,6% - 95 seats

Socilists - 27,2% - 80

United Patriots - 9,07% - 27

Turkish Party - 8,99% - 26

Volya (Will) - 4,15% - 12

 

121 is needed for a majority, which is enough for GERB + Patriots and eventually Volya.

And In French polls Macron consolidates his lead over Le Pen,  Germany's AFD is gradually getting less support in almost every poll, True Finns are going down with crazy speed It might be yet to early to say for sure but I believe the natiobalist anti-eu  Right Wing wave is slowly vanishing here in Europe. Even in Poland our nationalistic PiS loses heavily in the newest polls, with only 2-3% support more than the centrist PO. Even Turkey's Erdogan seems scared as s**t of the upcoming referendum as many polls indicate Turkish people might for the first time vote against him. and it might be a pretty huge for him catastrophe if he loses

In SVk it´s going in the very very wrong way...apparently the neo-nazi party is incredibly increasing their %. especially among the first time voters around 18 years olds peoples...this is really worrying..

 

It already was a huge shock during last elections, when they gained some seats http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/11/18/slovakia-comes-to-grips-with-proudly-neo-nazi-party.html

 

but now during the last revealed pronostics they are apparently passed to 3rd place the problem is now when they surprisingly entered the parliament, there no chance that their party will be banned as it was planned before
