Let's play a game

You need 75+1 seats to form a majority
The 1st column is the previous election result, 3rd column is the current poll result, last column is the difference between the latest poll and the 2017 elections.

Bolivia Has a Socialist President—Again.
Exit polls show that Evo Morales’s successor, Luis Arce, is on track for a convincing first-round victory.

They'll probably add PvdA.

FVD and PVV are probably considered alt-right. Think PVV is pretty leftist on anything besides their stance on immigration. FVD seems to be the party for the conspiracy nutters.

Nintex · « **Reply #9132 on:** October 24, 2020, 09:34:31 AM »

Not sure if the PvdA would join another VVD government.
All the previous attempts ended in their party getting decimated and the VVD cucking them.
For that reason the VVD would rather include GroenLinks so they can destroy them as well.

It'll be difficult with parties ruling each other out.
I also can't see Wilders joining a VVD cabinet unless he has more or about an equal number of seats.

CDA will probably collapse further if they don't replace Hugo with another party leader.
D66 will be absolutely decimated if voters return to the PvdA and move to GroenLinks / FVD.

Also if the revolt within the ranks of the FVD continues and the party imploded before the election a number of those seats could also return to Wilders.
PVV's focus on healthcare now puts them at an advantage over the FVD COVID deniers I feel.
While before the pandemic the economic message of the FVD had more support.
The FVD torpedoed themselves by letting in the conspiracy nuts which is why movement from VVD -> FVD has stopped.

Quote

A witness called David, who runs the Brioche Chaude restaurant, opposite the church, told BFMTV he had alerted the police.

“I was selling croissants when a man came in and said to me: ‘Sir, there’s a decapitated woman in the cathedral.’

I didn’t believe him at first but he repeated it. I went to the cathedral and saw the municipal police and called to them. They came quickly.

“I went back [to the restaurant] and pulled down the security grille.”

He added: “The person who came in [to the restaurant] was someone who had been in the cathedral who was very shocked. He just said: ‘Sir, there is a woman decapitated in the cathedral.’ That’s all. I was shocked. I’m still shaking.”

Feel bad for laughing at bold.

Fuck it, the planet might end in a week anyway

spoiler (click to show/hide)

This guy... real beautiful guy with big shoulders... he came up to me from the bakery and he said "SIR" he said "SIR, there is a decapitated woman in the Cathedral"
And I said WHAT? "Sir, it's real sir" he said. I said are you sure it is a woman? "Yes sir, 100%" . I mean how can you tell without the head right? Hehe
And the cathredal so you know it's modest like our first lady... they call it modest. She's probably watching so I better be nice to her right?

He said to me "I was selling these croissants" they call them croissants, you know. And then he said "SIR I called the police". The great French police and they came so fast to that tremendous cathredal you wouldn't believe.
Like if Joe was sleeping all the way in Delaware he would be awake, they came so fast. They have law and order, they have these great... they call them the Gent army, right? With these blue suits and those funny little hats
Not like our hats but you know different hats and just incredible arms and oh they come so fast.

Boy let me tell ya, if the police came so fast even I would be shaking, can you imagine the police coming so fast

This is the same American multiculturalism that publicly denounced Salman Rushdie for "blasphemy" after his assassination was ordered by a high-ranking religious extremist of a foreign country.

A senior government official said:
"The hounds are on the bridge ready to maul the flesh from his bones after Gove shoots him in the legs. What's left will be for Larry to eat if he doesn't get a knife in his back from Theresa first or we hang him for treason."

"Are you saying the Prime Minister is in danger? Are these serious allegations?"

"Of course not my boy, we're just having another TORY LEADERSHIP CONTEST besides he will probably drink himself to death before we can fire the first shot"

"Isn't that dangerous, couldn't you lose the elections to Labour?"

"Those racist jew hating commie bastards won't make it past lunch after we've put their heads on pikes for her Majesty the Queen - we'll ship their bodies back to Beijing"

"Are you saying there will be arrests and killings?"

"No, no.. no we'll just have a go at the ballot box, I hear Dungbury is ready to come home after 400 years"

Because to receive the funds you have to adhere to democratic standards and the rule of law.
Hungary and Poland see this as political meddling.
