In almost 40 years I lived in Romania I have never encountered religious segregation ,not even in communism time .The neighbours were just neighbours ,friends where just friends ,never religion was mentioned .When a marriage had to be arranged for an urgent and soon obvious reason the religious differences where quick brushed aside and they all headed for a good all night dancing and clapping together . More so Johannis is already married outside his religious group anyway. Very interesting Romanians have never been segregated by religion ,definitely not like UK . Colour of skin ? Yes but mainly if you ,, lose '' your wallet while on the bus to work . Based on my Romanian experience, the social ladder is the one who divides our nation the most .<br />simo3520002https://www.blogger.com/profile/05384682893891635763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-91320083128620886442014-11-06T22:42:45.721+02:002014-11-06T22:42:45.721+02:00Nice to see you excited and inspired to write ,Rom...Nice to see you excited and inspired to write ,Romanian adventure must be still good . Would you feel the same about elections in UK ? Hope the Romanians are excited too ,horrible not to feel a little bit lifted at least in the week before the big day . You are only going to get crushed again in disappointment shortly after . I envy you ,nothing new here , Cameron ,Cleg ,Miliband all just like a big ,big endless constipation and Farage ,who thinks he's the new and much improved senokot of British politics but not good to make a positive difference .

But I've also learned there's a good part who isn't interested in 'german' leadership or any other 'foreigner' sniffing around in Wallachia - I fully understand that, no European nation is different in that aspect. I favor Iohannis for a single reason - he appears more suitable to deal with European leaders. In contrast, Ponta's ellbowing had European leaders take a step away from him - that's not healthy for Romania.

She got more in the red regions than in the blue, yet her result didn't count in the map. In Bucharest alone, Macovei got 13%, highest bar the diaspora, and together with Johannist makes 40% compared to Ponta at 30 %<br />And her votes got stolen by double stamping. She would've been much higher in B alone. Maybe double.<br /><br />The left had 1 real candidate. The right had 3 if not 4 candidates. This the map doesn't catch yet it will be reflected in the final round.<br /><br />Adrian Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-49521574568648924322014-11-06T20:34:04.984+02:002014-11-06T20:34:04.984+02:00An interesting article.

I think we have to start voting in what we believe and follow and analyze what the person that we vote for is doing. We cannot act as citizens only when the elections came. If you can find the same map for 2009 and for 2004 elections you will understand what I’m saying.
