Yeah, he "wins." 1st Rd got 20% of the vote whereas Simion was at 41%. 2nd Rd he gets 54% while Simion jumps only 4 points to 45%. Romania and the EU are over here looking at 2020 like the Dems are a bunch of amateurs.

Oh well, EU "democracy" strikes, I mean has spoken...again.

There is nothing close to a guarantee that Georgescu would have done any better in the 2nd round, in 2024. If we DOUBLED the 2nd round gain by Georgescu, then he'd only have received 47.68 in the 2nd round. That would be insane gains for the 2nd round, given his politics.





So it's more sane that Dan gains +34.2 and Simion only gains +3.9?

nobody "wins" the first round.

Georgescu had the most votes, and I noted his total combined with Simion's total in the same election (it was less than Simion had in the subsequent election by his lonesome in the first round).

you mean the guy was not allowed on the ballot and threatened with jail?

Yes. Let's post the whole thing since you didn't want to address the actual data, so people can see it again

I don't agree with what happened, but the projections and melts are irrational and ignore reality, as I'm pointing out.

Yes, when you understand the difference in the 2 rounds, which I explained to y'all after you got your hopes up after round 1 in 2025.

There was effectively no right-based competition in round 1. Simion had effectively maxed out his support. EVERYONE ELSE was going to vote against him in round 2. This is the same stuff that kills the LePens in France, and keeps hurting Farage in the UK.

sure you do. You leftists fricks tried to put Trump in jail and keep him off the ballot too. No surprise you're in here fluffing the same thing in another country. At least they didn't shoot their guy in the head though so I guess you win that one
