The Portuguese government was rejected in the Parliament this afternoon by the lefties and the PS. Let's see how this plays out.

Note: The word "lefties" is not meant to be used in a derogatory sense.

"Lefties" can be a derogatory term? If it's in reference to what I think it is, that's adorable and I'm going to start using it.

Managed to sneak in a breaking news note about it at the end of our radio show :)

Hopefully Cavaco won't be so stupid as to try any funny stuff.

Oh, he will. He doesn't want a left-wing government.

What radio show?

I EXUDE STRESS ISN'T THAT NICE.

228536. I'm really not in tune with Portugal's politics. They don't show up in the radar of any of my news sources much if at all. Hell, neither do Spain's, for the most part. The Catalonian secession discussion and vote has dominated coverage of news from the Iberian Peninsula the past few months.

So you haven't missed much, because I don't think anything else has happened in our country for the last several months.

It does, but it's also that the politics in question isn't really universal, so there's not a lot of reason for certain regulars to jump in. Hell, I'd say that of the Americans that visit this thread, only Netto would be likely to join in regardless of what said politics are related to.

228538

But, as an American citizen, I'd imagine I'd only feel obligated to take part if the politics in question related to us or was local, and as machomuu not at all since I don't much care for politics. So it's a given.

I'm not surprised it dominated the headlines there. It does affect the future of the country, after all. I'm curious to know your thoughts and feelings on it since it is your country.

Woahwoahwoah, wait. Seriously? ****ing ABC has that front page along with "Sexo de Vida"?

...I think they might need to rethink how they structure their media, because I wouldn't know whether to take that seriously or not.

I think they deserve a referendum, and we deserve a PM whose policies on Catalonia go a bit further than "No.". Of course, they are going all speed ahead because chances are that, after December 20th, we'll have a new Government that can actually sit to negotiate and they don't want to lose the "since the Spanish State won't talk, we have to leave altogether ASAP" card- one of the four major candidates for the elections next month is from Barcelona and he was a MP in the Cat Parliament until the Sept. elections, in which his party became the second largest in all of Catalonia!

Either way, I don't want to see them leave and I'd want this to serve as a wake-up call to ammend the Constitution and make a proper system for a federal country, since we have essentially a federation of 17 states + 2 cities running on a Constitution drafted with an unitary, centalised State in mind, so it has a lot of holes everywhere.

That and a group teraphy with the Catalans, because there is a wave of hatred being created between them and everyone else that's going to be very hard to fix. Of course, if they do end up leaving, then good ****ing luck- out of the EU and the Euro (which over 75% of Catalans are against when asked- but the independentists say they can somehow leave without a negotiation and yet be welcomed into the EU with open arms the next day), with borders between them and Spain and France, all big companies and banks fleeing elsewhere and a 50/50 split country. As a bonus hilarity, Barcelona province has a clear majority against secession- so South Catalonia staying as part of Spain? This is all pure madness, and the worst thing is that there have been enough stupid politicians to allow it to grow up to this point.

Yup. It's the oldest, most Conservative and traditionalist newspaper on display, in the sense of what a Brit would call "Victorian". The sort of "King, God and Fatherland" newspaper. That's why they are obsessed with sex.
