[Sweet Sixteen]

The diaspora was entitled to vote for the first time in the 2011 parliamentary elections. According to SEC data, there were 4,591 voters in Europe, half of whom voted (2,494). In America, out of the 1,824 registered voters, 994 persons voted (or 54.5%). In Australia, 600 out of the 794 voters cast ballots, representing the highest turnout in all three electoral constituencies outside Macedonia (75.19%).

This time only 550 people voted in Asia and Australia for the presidential elections. Ivanov took 92%. Halimi took zero votes! I guess eventually none of you voted.

Macedonia's Ruling Conservatives Claim Double Election Victory

SKOPJE — Hundreds of supporters of Macedonia's conservative ruling party celebrated in downtown Skopje as their party claimed victory in parliamentary and presidential elections on April 28, based on preliminary results of the ballot that the opposition said it would not recognize.

With more than 63 percent of the votes counted, the VMRO-DPMNE party was leading with 43 percent, compared with 24 percent for the main opposition party, the center-left SDSM, the state electoral commission said.

VMRO-DPMNE's Nikola Gruevski, 43, has ruled the landlocked former Yugoslav republic of 2 million people since 2006 in coalition with his ethnic Albanian partners, the DUI party.

Zoran Zaev, leader of the main opposition party, the center-left SDSM, accused Gruevski and his party of “abusing the entire state system,” saying there were “threats and blackmails and massive buying of voters.”

Gruevski's party immediately dismissed the opposition allegations as an attempt to manipulate public opinion.

Opposition parties have often accused Gruevski of creeping authoritarianism and corruption. Foreign diplomats in Skopje say there are concerns about media freedom and political pressure on journalists.

Gruevski has said any complaints of authoritarianism come from opposition parties that lack a concrete political program to unseat him. He has dismissed as false the corruption charges and has threatened lawsuits against SDSM's Zaev.

It was not immediately clear what concrete steps the opposition would take once the results are officially confirmed. The SDSM said it was “keeping all options open and would decide in the next few days.”

Macedonia remains one of Europe's poorest countries, with unemployment above 28 percent, but Gruevski's government has achieved solid economic growth, low public debt and a rise in foreign investment, unlike most neighbors in the Balkans.

Better the devil you know?
It's still a devil after all.

[lavce pelagonski]

I think time will tell. Lets see what VMRO can do now they have majority. It is never too late unless your SDS, they need a total over haul of their party structure.

[Risto the Great]

I think time will tell. Lets see what VMRO can do now they have majority.

But they have 43%, which is not a majority.
So nothing changes. Can Macedonia really afford to remain in it's present situation much longer?

[lavce pelagonski]

GROM is going to join the ruling party and there is no way dui has a chance. it may not be a majority but they have 61 seats in parliament. which leaves the opposition as a whole sds 34 and dui 19. dpa have 7 seats
