Hi OP, how's the mood, re: EU elections?

We're having counting day here and it's a clean sweep for the BJP, ugh. Not that I support the INC; at this point, our politics is just a democratic black hole.

In football news, we snapped up Nico Schultz, Julian Brandt and Thorgan Hazard!

BJP... far right, right? Ugh, why?! jazzypom May 23 2019, 12:50:54 UTC
The mood is that people are thinking the Brexit party (led by Farage) will win. EU elections in the UK are normally quite low in turn out, but since this is seen to be a second referendum, people are beating the bushes for younger people to go and vote for Lib Dems or Greens (England), Cymru Plaid (Wales), SNP (Scotland) and Sein Finn (NI) whose parties are pro remain ( ... )

I dunno whether to classify them as far-right since there are worse parties that are actually far-right like the RSS and Shiv Sena.

But they've aligned with the RSS and looking at today's papers, it's really telling how there's so much of a divide between the north and south. My side has had secular-socialist politics but the party that got the majority here was caught up in the biggest corruption case in the country so ugh.

We always have our elections on Thursday, whereas in Europe, elections are on Sunday, iirc. So yeah, we're just waitng on the returns.
