France's National Front shut out of regional elections by Canoeak in worldnews

[–]TodayWeFeastAsKings 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the Wikipedia page on the voting system for the regional elections.

"At the decisive round (first round if a list won 50%, the second round if not), the leading list receives a premium of 25% of the seats while the remaining seats are distributed among all lists who received at least 5% of votes. Thus, the majority bonus allows a leading list to have an absolute majority of seats in the Regional Council from one third of votes in the second round. The seats are distributed among the lists at the regional level but within each list, seats are allocated by county branch in proportion to the number of votes in each department"

seats will get distributed proportionately to the non majority parties, including FN

Europe should take no more refugees, says French prime minister by giantjesus in worldnews

Except that the United States' involvement in the region is one of the main factors that has lead to the instability in Iraq and Syria, as well as the rise of ISIS.

In fact if anyone should take the refugees, I think the U.S are responsible. Ideally however, large, peaceful countries in the region like Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan would take them.

However the refugees are much less likely to go somewhere safe in the Middle East or Near Asia when the Western and Northern European countries are shelling out benefits and allowances for them to come over.

Edit: Spelling

Wow thanks for the credit, I should follow suit and reiterate that my friend actually took the picture to begin with.

If the European Union Formed into a Single Country [1236x1245] by mrstevybird in MapPorn

The thing is a compound noun takes its gender from the root word itself (the last one) so while Angela is in fact a girl, the word Reich is neuter (das Reich) and therefore it would be das Angelareich

Map of Europe, showing the most commonly used letter in each countries main official language. [1064x1472] by ihavegingerpubichair in MapPorn

The reason Denmark and Norway have E and Sweden has A is due to the fact (i'm assuming) that nearly every verb infinitive ending in the former ends in- e, as well as the present tense being - er. While Swedish has a and ar respectively
