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?

Sounds like he’s conservative but anti-corruption and pro-Western.

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.

Hey Russia, how's that "it's unacceptable to be surrounded by enemies" strategy working out for you

Sure seems like everyone's super relaxed and letting their guard down, being okay with your chosen candidates as they usually have been, and et cetera
