Personal oppinions and a little history

Well.. first of all, the voters can be roughly divided into 2 groups. The Social-Democrat voters and the Liberals. The SD's are usually old people that come from the opening hours (8 AM) until 1 PM, the biggest wave being when the church service is over. the SDP (social democrat party) electors had the biggest mistakes in voting. They used the VOTED stamp wrong, so many votes were declared null. In Bucharest, Mr. Sorin Oprescu was a high ranking member of the SDP, but got into an internal fight and was independent in the mayoral election. Then, 2 hours of pause for lunch, when few people came. From 4PM until the closing hour (9PM), the Liberals voted. Most youngsters and about half of the working class are liberals. Two parties were voted by them: The NLP (National Liberal Party) and the DLP (Democrat Liberal Party). The NLP is historical, founded in the XIX Century. 2 years ago, some key members left this party and made their own, the LDP (Liberal-Democrat Party). After 1989, the power was taken by the NSF (National Salvation Front) . In 1991, the NSF split into the DSPR (Democrat Social Party of Romania), which took many forms and name, now being the SDP, and the DP (Democrat Party). This year, prior to the local elections which i observed, the DP and the LDP merged into the DLP. Overall the citizens of Bucharest shown little interest for Mr. Videanu (the ex mayor) and wanted a big change. My opinion is that Mr. Oprescu will overcome. No attemps to fraud the election because each member of the commission was from a separate party. Someone stamped all the zones, trying to vote for all the candidates :) - null vote. Several people tried to make pictures when voting but we're told not to.
