Romanian exit polls project independent candidate Nicusor Dan in the lead with around 54% of the national votes and hard-right candidate George Simion with around 45%, in the cliffhanger Romanian presidential election that has transfixed and polarised the country.

So he's not hard-right which is good but what is he?

I'd love someone more left-leaning, but also, fuck, in this world environment, you take the wins you get. I'm just happy that there's not another democracy handing the keys over to far-right shitheads at this point.
