Romanian parliamentary election


The Romanian general election has seen the Social Democrats (together with their Conservative allies) get 33% of the votes cast. The Democratic Liberal Party, of the centre-right, was only a little bit behind - with 32.57%. The National Liberals were on 18.32% and a party representing the Hungarian minority (the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania) got 6.29%. We will now have to see which way the coalition formation goes, but it strikes me that the Democratic Liberals and the National Liberals could form a right-wing coalition to run the country.
