USL Takes Majority of Romanian Parliament

Elections in Romania were held Sunday, for Parliament.

With only a thirty-seven percent turn out, people massively showed their dissatisfaction with the government.

The country has been dealing with an awkward power share between the President and Prime Minister.

In July, Prime Minister Victor Ponta attempted to have President Traian Basescu impeached, but failed.

Since then things have been extremely hostile between the two main political camps.

Ponta's Social Liberal Union looks to be the big winner in this election, with the party gaining fifty-six percent of Parliament, a definitive majority, especially when they're joined by the members of their coalition.

However, the President can choose who will be the next Prime Minister, and has sworn Ponta won't get it.

Baseuscu would have to choose from among the USL, so realistically it might not matter much, but he could continue the personal war between himself and Ponta.
