Well, everyone, sorry I haven't been here for most of the count, but it's quite clear that Modi's coming back with a larger majority in the Lok Sabha, according to Doordarshan, the NDA has 347 seats leading or called(BJP has 296), the UPA's at 87(INC has 51) and 108 going to other parties.

Meh, the EU borders Russia and doesn't even have a unified military, and Latvia still exists.

Only because Latvia is also NATO and is backed up by the US who has troops stationed there

Which kinda proves the earlier point about independent countries with just a shared defence being enough to deter invasion by big neighbours.

That... response doesn't make any sense to a simple report on the election results.

Congratulations India for not screwing up! After decades, the Communist Party of India. which usually floated around 20 seats has been reduced to 2 seats, Communism is on its way out! The INC has failed miserably, and RaGa has lost in his home district, overall, we can all breathe a sigh of relief that pseudo-progressivism has left the Subcontinent.
