how much did they lose by + can they win next election

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

681,017 vs 533,136; 22.94% vs 17.9% Turnout was 68.51%.

The second best party for this country got 187,645 votes which is 6.32%

They lost by much less than last time, which is a good but the fact so many people voted for a mafioso who killed a journalist (and his pregnant wife) who was looking into the crimes of him and his acomplices is crazy. His voters swallowed the anti-gay, anti-EU pill whole, and it shows, as they are impossible to talk to.

Can they win the next election? I don't know. As far as I know, a massive amount of people are too far gone to change. They are too deep into propaganda to see that the people they idolize hurt them more than the people they hate irrationally. All they care about is the fact that the people they hate are getting hurt, I guess. Or they are jusy deeply stupid.

Many young people left when SMER won, many moved out, many are planning to. But with recent anti democratic actions (trying to gain as much power as possible), many of these people started protesting again, just like we did when Fico got deposed.

I don't know. All i do is protest, use my voice, use my wallet and make sure they know that we wont let them take over our country. We wont let Fico do what Orban did to Hungary.

Edit: forgot to source the election data. Wikipedia is great for elections.
