Bulgarian parliamentary election today, the 5 parties that seem to pass the 4% hurdle, only decimals have changed between 22% and 33% counted:

Preliminary results 32.85% reporting
% Party Votes
43.85 Progressive Bulgaria 258,459
14.75 We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria 90,033
12.41 GERB–SDS 72,731
4.71 Revival 28,297
4.04 Movement for Rights and Freedoms 23,881
=79.76% of votes (thus far)

So, Progressive Bulgaria (PB) should get ~43.86/79.76 = 54.98% of the votes that lead to seats. The Revival party is also anti-EU and anti-NATO (although they are right wing while PB is left leaning). Together they now have 60.88% if they get along on EU/NATO issues.

66.67% gives a qualified majority that can change the constitution. Of course the seats are not given strictly in proportion to share of total votes, although their system certainly strives for that, using the "Hare Quota". Bulgaria has 19 constituencies with 4-19 seats each. Often larger parties get a few more seats per vote, for example in a consituency with 4 seats, either the largest party here would get 2 seats and the 2nd and 3rd parties 1 seat each, or the largest party 3 seats and the 2nd party 1 seat. So qualified majority in seats is possible.

Though it makes full sense, I didn't know this existed. Thought others might like to see. I've left a pair of screenshots for anyone who doesn't wish to use Musk's platform, and for those who do, here is the link to the short video. https://x.com/IRANinSWEDEN/status/2045283999409398245?s=20

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
