🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election.
The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls.
Huge if true.

The key takeaway is that #Moldova acted BEFORE the elections and took measures against the Russian parties, propaganda & tactics.
You cannot play by the rulebook when the opponent proudly sets it on fire. Message for the whole #Europe : Stop playing nice and defend Western liberal democracy!

Moldova's pro-EU ruling party scored a surprising victory in yesterday's national election in a vote that was marked by intense Russian involvement including alleged vote-buying.

FOUNDATION by Isaac Asimov is a true #scifi classic. A genius mathematician manipulates the course of a civilization for centuries, exploiting religion, trade and human nature to soften the fall.

I've had enough with #Poland. The country once again refuses to condemn the far-right. The cancer of religiousness is too deep, the blight that is called "rural voters" is too big.
They will never be a reliable member of the correct side of the #EU until their countryside is depopulated.

The far right Simion lost in #Romania 🇷🇴 thanks to record mobilization of usually apolitical voters - educated people outnumber rurals/blue collar/agri workers, as long as they show up to vote.
I have Romanian friends in Brussels & I'm happy for them!
Now #Poland, if you could do the same...

Israel votes confirm that 20% of most societies are far right.
Estonia votes confirm that a lot of people have cringe and childish humour - the really fun entries were Iceland and San Marino, and they tanked.
I would have preferred Sweden winning, but Austria is fine too.
