In a pretty huge statement, the opposition party in Venezuela won big taking two thirds of the seats in the National Assembly. First time Chavistas have lost since 1999.
Excellent.

Recent developments in France have also been interesting to watch:

Wow Cameron is definitely the worst post-war PM, and perhaps the most disastrous UK PM since Lord North. He will be the man who took the UK out of Europe, pushed Scotland to leave the UK, and reunified Ireland. 150k members of the Tory party will pick his replacement for October. Stupid Nick Clegg (Deputy PM from 2010-2015) forced a change to election laws that will make snap elections less likely but who knows.
Spain's election last December lead to an unstable legislature that couldn't form a cabinet and now the country votes again on Sunday, its youth unemployment still around 50 and its economy in a worse spot than the Indians in Blood Meridian. Podemos and some other left-wing party have made an electoral alliance and aim to get first place, which they hope will somehow lead to the mainstream "socialist" party accepting their very aggressive coalition demands, or something. If they're lucky, the ECB will illegally conspire to crush their banks!
