@Hanasaku_Yuri special military constituencies were something the soviet union kept doing for a long time
also, I would argue this is maybe the least insane electoral system russia has ever had
It's worth comparing this result to the 1999 republic referendum, which also dealt with the legacy of Australia's colonial past, and was defeated by a very similar coalition of interests (although by a narrower overall margin).
Last Saturday, Australia resoundingly voted down a proposal to establish a consultative body for the country's Indigenous peoples. The map reveals a strong urban-rural split, except for those rural seats (Lingiari, Leichhardt, Durack) with the largest Indigenous populations.
Alright, it's done. It's quite a rainbow - Høyre did quite well, becoming the largest party nationwide for the first time since 1924, but still did poorly outside major cities. Ap+Sp lost big, and FrP, V and minor parties all gained significant amounts. #Valg23
In just a few minutes, polls close in #Valg23, so here's our map of the last election. A big success for @Senterpartiet, which opposed controversial boundary reforms. They're now in government with @Arbeiderpartiet, and both parties seem set to lose this time - but how much?
En fördjupad bild av valresultatet i Helsingforsregionen. Ett mycket bra val för @kokoomus och mycket dåligt för @vihreat, som bara kommer först i ett (1) röstningsområde.//A closer view of the election result in greater Helsinki, with NCP doing very well and Greens quite badly.
Förhandsresultatet i #vaalit2023 är här. @kokoomus blir största parti och @PetteriOrpo troligtvis regeringsbildare. Högermajoritet i nya riksdagen.//The preliminary results are here, with a right-wing majority and Coalition leader Orpo likely to form a government.
På söndag är det riksdagsval i Finland. För fyra år sedan vann @Demarit en knapp seger med 17,7% och bildade regering med @keskusta och de andra mitten-vänsterpartierna.//Finland votes on Sunday. Here's the last election which saw a narrow SDP victory and a centre-left coalition.
granted, if there is one time we'd support electoral chicanery, it would be to deny representation to anything called the "Christian Social and Anti-Semitic Party"
@Spolitik The Danish election is being counted right now, and here's the 2019 election result. The Social Democrats formed a one-party government supported by the rest of the left bloc, but can they defend their position?
#valg2022 tælles lige nu, og sådan her så valgresultatet ud i 2019. @Spolitik dannede regering allene, med stød fra de øvrige partier på venstresiden. Kan de forsvare sin position?
