#val2026 #val26 #Svpol #Sweden little has changed as vote counting progresses. The red-greens have a slight advantage w/h 176 mandates vs. Tidö w/h 173.

#val2026 #val26 #Svpol #Swedenelects w/h votes from 2325/6626 polling stations counted it looks more like a nail biting evening. The difference between the red-greens vs Tidö is just 1 (one) mandate for the former.

#val2026 #val26 #Svpol exit poll by #TV4 suggest a slightly different order & values but they also suggest governmental change w/h #rödgröna at 51.3% whilst #Tidö so-called blueyellow at 47%

Again these are numbers from #Valu exit poll. A competing exit poll gives slightly different numbers.

Big surprise #Liberalerna #L seems to make past the threshold at 5.4% & just above them #Kristdemokraterna #KD at 6.1%.

Fourth comes #Vänsterpartiet w/h a strong performance at 8% followed by #Centerpartiet #C at 7.5% & #Miljöpartiet #MP closely at 7.4%

Ov Cristian NOROCEL @norocel.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

This means that #socialdemokraterna #SAP maintain their lead at 28.4% & their allies make it to 51,3% & entails a government change while #moderaterna #M hold onto second place with 18.1% 2/x

This picture conveys in its own way (though I find it uncomfortably over-focused on women) what we actually witnessed to in these past weeks. Not my picture, seen it in my feed across several accounts, happy to credit correctly.

Important to remember the bigger picture in present context. It would be worth keeping in mind both who instigated it (& who gains from it) as well as who tries to spin it (& to what end).

Truly enjoyed @rossellaciccia.bsky.social talk at GSS series on Conflicts over Care, but appalled by the state of train infrastructure in Copenhagen-Malmö (fire in tunnel, chaotic evacuation on her way in; suddenly cancelled trains & stops, broken doors homebound). Thought we are better, usually.

As typical academic, I show to people I admire them by inviting to brainstorm together a funding application. We didn’t talk abt. low acceptance rate; rather allowed ourselves to think theoretical interactions btw. inter-imperiality, knowledge regimes & resistances. Hopefully Södertörn is a charm🤞🏼

To be clear, I am not saying ousted Bolojan cabinet was in any way a good thing (I forgot to add 4th coalition partner UDMR/RMDSZ also known as FIDESZ-branch in 🇷🇴), but PSD allying w/h pro-🇷🇺 AUR w/h ambition to form that ”stable pro-European government” is grotesque.

Ov Cristian NOROCEL @norocel.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

So-called Social Democrats in 🇷🇴 PSD have allied w/h far-right AUR to topple the government they were part of together w/h conservative-right PNL and centre-right USR. EU level PES calls to forming of a ”stable pro-European government”. Bitter irony, as all Overton windows slammed open.

I started the morning by absent-mindedly dropping a pomegranate on the ground and rushing to pick it up as it rolled over into the street (of course, a bus was approaching). It had cracked open so I bought it, and then bought another. And 3 oranges, for good measure. 2/

W/h almost all votes counted (98,9%) the results of 2026 elections in Hungary 🇭🇺 confirm a legislative w/h a limited number of parties (3!), & a seriously rightward over-representstion. Tisza gets lion’s share 138 MPs (of 199 in total), Fidesz + Kdnp 55 MPs while Mi Hazánk hangs onto 6 MPs.

W/h over 70% votes counted the situation seems little changed w/h still only those 3 parties in future parliament. Fidesz + Kdnp appear to decrease still, whilst Mi Hazánk holds onto their seats. Tisza continues to grow beyond 130 seats out of 199
