AKEL in cyprus (southern part) is one of the two major parties. also the PCP in portugal pulls hundreds of thousands of votes and has seats and mayors and so forth

the PCP seems pretty China friendly; I’m pretty sure I’ve heard about them doing activities with the CPC. actually most of the electorally viable ones aside from the aforementioned JCP and KKE seem to be on good terms

I am trying to count all the children of former dictators who win on fair elections. Park Guen Hye's dad was a dictator. Also Chiang Kai-shek's great grandson is in KMT now. If he wins the next mayor race he has a chance to run for president 10 years down the road.

I am skipping the Japanese guys since I don't count their dads dictators.

That Pakistani woman president who got assassinated, her dad was a dictator army man. Indira Gandhi was almost a dictator. I don't think her failgrandson will win though.


There must be a couple more in Philippines.

Let's not forget Buhari in Nigeria, who was military dictator from '83-'85 after seizing power in a coup. Then got elected in '15 and has been back in charge since. Didn't even have to wait for a second generation to return.

He is too young, and not that popular. I was just reading his bio on wiki. His dad was actually illegitimate child of Jiang's son and a mistress. So after the mistress gave birth to pair of twins. Jiang didn't play around and sent his spy to kill his son's mistress right away (because his son has already married a Soviet woman). So the twin grew up with their mother's last name.

It was very late in their lives that one of the twins decided to Change his name back to Jiang, and ended up climbing pretty high inside the KMT ladder. But you can imagine it was thru his own hard work not thru help from the Jiang family.

Anyway now his son also has chose his career in politic. But as far as I can tell, he is not that special. I think at this stage he is trying to run for Taibei mayor. He is not the favorite. If he is lucky enough to win the election, then he has a good shot at president's race 8 or 12 years later. At the present time, DPP surely will win the next president after Tsai.

a liberal mythology is now congealing around the narrative that the 2022 race was stolen, based on the specious argument that because Robredo's votes stayed at ~47% of Marcos's votes as the election returns started rolling in throughout the evening of the 9th and into this morning, that this was statistically impossible and therefore the vote-count was simply pre-programmed

if you want to get into the nitty-gritty of why this doesn't hold water:

quote:

https://twitter.com/PJACaytonPhD/status/1523815603374817280

There's a comment from PhD statistician Peter Cayton saying that this pattern being observed by some folks, where Robredo's votes are always 47% of Marcos's votes, is not strong evidence of cheating, because if you look at just the amounts of votes added to Marcos/Robredo, the ratio varies from 66 to 68 Marcos / 31 to 33 Robredo, but then those small variations get diluted if you're only looking at the vote totals.

You'd have to go into precinct-level numbers to see if, for example, the proportions between Marcos and Robredo stay at the same rate everywhere in the country, and that would be suspicious, but not this.

Using this as a basis for data:



We can come up with the following table:



We can see that, yes, the ratio between Robredo's votes and Marcos's votes is at a steady 47%, with some variations in the decimals, but:

* between 4:47 and 5:47 AM, Marcos gained 148,708 votes, while Robredo gained 59,729 votes. That means Robredo only gained 40.17% as many votes in that one hour span, as Marcos did. This suggests that those precincts that reported were favoring Marcos

* between 6:32 and 7:47 AM, Marcos gained 116,544 votes, while Robredo gained 63,068 votes. That means Robredo gained 54.12% as many votes as Marcos did. This suggests that those precincts that reported were favoring Robredo.

You can't see the difference if you're only looking at the vote totals because the vote totals are already so large. Or rather, you can see the difference, because the ratio between Robredo and Marcos shifted by 0.02%, but then we think that that's just statistical noise because we're only concerned with whole percentage points, but of course at that point it would take something like 200,000 votes to move the needle from 47% to 48%.

But just because you think the variation is so small that it doesn't count, doesn't mean the variations don't exist, and especially when digging into the smaller-scale returns does yield the differences people claiming aren't there.

Liberals have zero self awareness, only naked list for power. They make fun of and denigrate anyone else suggesting an election may be stolen as lunatics or threatening "democracy" but have zero problems screeching about election fraud when they are the ones holding the L.
