The snap legislative election in Portugal was held on Sunday. A screenshot with the results from the Electoral Commission website is below. A comparison with the 2009 results is available here.
Legend:
PPD/PSD (Social Democratic Party – conservative)
PS (Socialist Party)
CDS-PP (Democratic and Social Centre – People’s Party – centre-right)
PCP-PEV (Communist Party/The Greens)
BE (Left Bloc, extreme left)
Unsurprisingly, given the economic situation, the incumbent Socialist Party has been roundly defeated. The right-wing Social Democratic Party is the big winner and is likely to form a majority coalition with the Democratic and Social Centre.
