Last week before election.

In Poland.

Guys.

Fingers crossed, good vibes, even thoughts and prayers. I'm not a person of faith, but hell, I'll take thoughts and prayers at this stage. Please please please someone make these stinking bastards LOSE. Just fucking LOSE.

They took over the constitutional tribunal and did the "oups that's not constitutional anymore" to our abortion rights (more or less what happened to Roe...). They managed to put their own bought corrupt stinky judges into way too many courts. They are forcing fucked up "patriotic" curriculum on the kids. They messed up the school system FOR MY SON when he was just in the middle of his education. They are endangering pregnant women by criminalising even miscarriage (a woman who miscarried reported that police checking out the sewers coming from her house...) They are keeping refugees on the border, not allowing them even to petition for protection, throwing people into the woods in autumn and winter, kids, pregnant women...

(I know these things are not equal, but they just fuck up so much at the same time I can't even summarise it properly...!)

I just want them to GO. GO AWAY, stop ruining my country. I am not a very patriotic person, I'm not 100% of one nationality or other, half of my family is from all around the bloody continent, from Carrara to Mariupol. But I live in Poland and I'm just.

So.

Tired.

Of.

Them.

...we need to vote them the fuck out of the office...

I don't know exactly how elections work in Canada so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but would you vote for Trudeau after all his genocide support? I'm asking because I can't bribg myself to vote for Biden and Trump is out of the question. A third party will never win here. ☹️ In good conscience, I can't vote for a man who allowed thousands of kids to be murdered.

When there is a federal election in Canada (in order to elect a Prime Minister), we vote for the political party running in our 'riding.' To compare a riding to the American Electoral College system, it's similar to how you vote for candidates to represent you depending on the system (since I know it varies across states) -in Canada, those in 'ridings' represent the people in their specific area. If they win, they have a 'seat' in Parliament (which is located in Ottawa on unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin territory).

Canada functions under a first past the post system [FFTP] (as this is the most common method in the US, if I'm not mistaken?), which means that even it's a 48% to 50% vote between Conservatives and Liberals then the later would 'win' (I believe in Australia, due to their system, citizens would have to re-vote again if it's that close). I digress, but that's how it 'works' here.

Also, due to the parliamentary system, whether a voted-in party has a majority or minority of votes, will determine their position (and degree of power) in the House of Commons (which is like your Congress). Right now we are yes, currently run by a Liberal minority government -back in 2019 Trudeau was I believe shy of a dozen votes from being a majority government. The next federal election date in in 2025, usually it's in the fall.

So, complex parliamentary system aside -who you vote for in Canada is a Member of Parliament (an MP) from the 'riding'/area you are in, who represents you in the House of Commons, and they function under the leadership of 'X' party that is elected.

I have voted Liberal in the past because I loved the MP in my riding. She's done a lot of amazing work in the community. Over time, however, I have voted NDP (New Democratic Party), which is led by Jagmeet Singh right now. Of the over 300 seats in Parliament, they have 25 seats. I align with them on a lot of their ideologies, namely because they are more left-leaning than Liberals, but due to what happened recently - I can't look at them the same way, in the same respect I can't for Liberals either.

What they did to MPP Sara Jama (a disability and housing activist), by expelling her from the Caucus (which is just a collective term for those sitting in Parliament), because she openly supported Palestine. The 'Progressive' Conservatives voted to censure her and they successfully did. And over what, you might ask? She said she wanted an "end to all occupation of Palestinian land" and called for a ceasefire. You can follow her on X here, for folks interested in learning more about her work; she also has the video (that I believe went viral on tiktok about her demanding a ceasefire)- @/ SarahJama_)

So, for me, there will be some time to think about what I would like to do, but I will most definitely not be voting for a Liberal MP, that's for sure. As for the US, I have spoke about the socialist party running right now -Claudia De La Cruz and Karina Garcia (for President and VP, respectively) -they have supported Palestine and do a TON of advocacy work. If I could, I would vote for them.

Ruling conservatives won Croatian elections

The Croatian Democratic Union won Wednesday’s parliamentary elections, according to Euronews.

Croatia’s ruling conservatives triumphed in Wednesday’s fiercely contested election, according to the official vote count. The ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) defeated a centrist alliance informally led by President Zoran Milanović and his Social Democratic Party (SDP).

The State Election Commission reported that the HDZ won 60 seats in the 151-seat parliament after counting over 90% of the ballots. The SDP received 42 seats. Third place went to the Statehood Movement with 14 seats.

The turnout totalled over 50% a few hours before the polls closed. In his victory speech, the HDZ leader Prime Minister Andrej Plenković stated:

Starting tomorrow morning, we will start forming a new parliamentary majority in order to form our third government. I want to congratulate the other parties that were defeated by the HDZ.

German government seeks to ease rules for naturalization

BERLIN — Germany’s socially liberal government is moving ahead with plans to ease the rules for obtaining citizenship in the European Union’s most populous country, a drive that is being assailed by the conservative opposition. Chancellor OIaf Scholz said in a video message Saturday that Germany has long since become “the country of hope” for many, and it’s a good thing when people who have put…

conservative right wing won the parliamentary election in finland and in the two northest regions the winning party is openly racist and vicious

the biggest semi-left wing party was third and got more votes than last time but the green and left wing parties lost a massive amount of votes and seats

the biggest parties have directly expressed they want to make big cuts to financial help of low-income groups like the students, the unemployed, and people on sick leaves, as well as to e.g. health care finances

I'm trying hard to find a silver-lining or even a joke to lift the mood but the biggest joke was truly myself and others who tried to desperately believe we wouldn't live in a place where people genuinely think this is the result that will benefit this country and its citizens

now we just have to wait and see which parties will make up the cabinet but, bestie, it's looking Rough
