Centre Left Party wins the PT elections w/o the majority, will need a new major Left wing coalition

The centre-left Socialist party just won the elections with 36,7% of the votes, the centrist/centre right PSD with almost 28% of the votation.

The Far Left parties together make up almost 20% of the popular vote and almost 15% of the parliament seats.

For the first time we will have 9 political parties in the Portuguese parliament, one of them considered by the mainstream media as Far Right, the first far right party to gain a seat in Portugal in more than 40 years!

The new parliament with the new configuration, excluding 4 seats who are elected by the Portuguese electors living abroad.

A brief political spectrum explanation about the parties who are going to held executive functions in the next 4 years:

PS - Centre Left to Left wing (Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism)
PSD - Centre-Right (Liberal Conservatism with some social democrats)
BE - Far Left (Libertarian Socialism, Trotskyism)
CDU (PCP-PEV coalition) - Far Left (Marxism Leninism, Stalinism, Eco-Socialism)
CDS-PP - Centre Right to Right wing (Christian Democracy, Conservatism)
PAN - Centre or Centre Left (Animalism, Environmentalism)
CH - Right wing to Far Right (Nationalism, Social Conservatism)
IL - Centre Right (Classical Liberalism, Social Liberalism)
L - Left wing to Far Left (Eco-Socialism, racial minorities rights)

Unfortunately, Portugal became even more leftist, with 9 or 10 less MP's, Portugal would have a left wing constitutional majority (2/3) meaning that the left wing parties could easily change our constitution.

Good news IL is in the parliament! I Voted for the Liberal Party, IL (Iniciativa Liberal/Liberal Initiative), Chega/Enough is the first far right party to enter the parliament since Democracy I think. Also we will have the fist Black Woman MP with a seat.

Great. It's good to see CDU getting a lot of votes. Fight on portuguese people!!

CDU is actually decreasing it's share of votes for decades (since the fall of the east bloc in 1990/1991), this percentage and number of MP's is the all time lowest in legislative elections.

BE will entirely "eat" CDU. Bourgegoisie Left/New Left similar to PSOL.

PSOL is not the truest communist party here. It seems that your country was taken by the leftists. Good luck.

Even the moderate left Socialist party has a major left wing faction growing and growing with time, I will say that Libertariam Leftism will be very dominant in our society for the next years.... :(

Bad news.

Portugal just put a pistol to his head and pulled the trigger. "Takes off hat". Farewell, gentlemen, it was nice knowing you.

I have seen a lot of people here worshipping Portugal as an european country where the far-right doesn't get force and influence.

Portugal was always a major Left wing country since 1974, it's not news, just a record percentage of seats from left wing parties in our parliament.
