Over here in Portugal the best analysis done of the election results was done by a comedian last night, and he was terrifically accurate.

According to him he was happy to see that all the parties had won...there where no loosers...

-The Social Democrats won because they came in first
-The Socialists won because despite being the governing party they endured the "normal protest vote for such a situation" with ok results.
-The "Left Block" won because they got more votes than the communists...becoming the third political party.
-The Communists won because....well they always think they have won.
-The Popular Party (right wing christians) claimed a victory over the polling companies, because the polling gave them 3% and they had 8,5%...so there! :P

ahhh elections in Portugal....no body loses...everyone goes home happy.
