The “sovereignists” had about 30% of the parliament already, but I imagine it was the decision to cancel the first set of elections that tipped the scales. Heard of plenty of people that decided to vote Simion out of sheer spite after that stunt.

About as fair as you can hope for in this country, I suppose. I imagine the large parties pulled all the stops and still couldn’t grab more than 20%. And I know they didn’t covertly support Simion (yet) because last night they were pissed.

He’ll probably sit on 40% of the votes by the end of the count. It’s pretty fuckin grim.
