TV-channel BRT presents (counted are some 23% of precincts [?] and 37% of votes [?]):

36% +9% UBP cons./nationalistic
21% -17% CTP soc./unionistic
16% *16% HP "pop."/unionistic
09% *09% YDP ?/nationalistic
08% -15% DP cons./nationalistic (lead by the son of Denktas)
08% +-0% TDP soc./unionistic
03% TKPYG soc./unionistic

The present proTurkish UBP&DP-cabinet might absorb YDP.

[Georg Ebner]

Much movement cannot be expected any longer, i'd say - the % are very evenly distributed in the 6 provinces.
Contrary to that, the governing has been unstable recently: 4 different governments in 5 years. (2013 CTP&DP&TDP, 2013-2015 CTP&DP, 2015-2016 CTP&UBP, 2016- UBP&DP)

Which Prime Minister of Sweden was female?? 

[Devil Wincarnate]

Sweden is the only Nordic country to have never had a female PM. Denmark has had one and the rest have had two, I think.

(I'm ignoring the Faroes, Ålands and Greenland)

Quite remarkable that the supposed losers of the election cobbled together a coalition keeping the vehemently pro Turkish parties out. Then there was the saga of the Afrika paper who published a headline denouncing Erdogan. Erdogan went on the box and called for his "northern Cypriot brothers" to take appropriate action. The editorial offices of the paper were beseiged ,the police initally stood by but after a vehement public backlash then arrested various individuals including a promonent member of the AKP for assault/ affray etc.

Even more remarkable is that these same individuals were slung in the clink.

The talks toward unification/ confederation have restarted. With a lot more urgency on both sides.

Grrr. bloody autocorrect thingy. I didn't write "Sweden". I wrote "Denmark" but a gremlin must have changed it to Sweden while I wasn't looking.

That’s a very odd autocorrect

I'm ignoring Greenland and other two on the grounds that they are not sovereign.

[Devil Wincarnate]

Although unusually the Aalands have had three female Landraader in a row.

[Georg Ebner]

TurnOut is reported to be at 58%. Very early results see an OverAll Maj. for UBP.

Has the idiot who posted this never heard of India and Sri Lanka? That is before we delve into Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, Indonesia, etc.

You don’t seem to understand what “of”, “also” and “not majority” mean. In order to maintain harmony among the forum it is therefore necessary for you to be locked in a cold dark dungeon and force-fed with 46 kilograms of gherkins.

Presumably the 'idiot' referred to the OP but I'm not sure why its necessary to join a pile on 8 years after everyone else had done it

No, reviving old threads on a whim is more a boogs thing.
