This week's episode looks back the results from two elections last weekend – the state election in Quebec and the General Election in Latvia. In Quebec, Francois Legault’s Coalition Avenir Quebec has won a second majority, increasing their seat count in the National Assembly. How did his party achieve such a dominant victory? What next for the Liberals and Parti Quebecois after a disappointing night? Will Quebec Solidaire be disappointed not to have achieved official Opposition status? And how did the Conservatives fail to win a single seat despite a big increase in vote share?
In Latvia, Arturs Krišjānis Kariņš looks set to retain the premiership after his New Unity party won the most seats in the Saeima. Sam and Chern unpack the results and discuss the potential government partners for his second term. How did the New Unity party increase their seat count so significantly? Who are the most likely coalition partners – United List or the Progressives? And what happened to the pro-Russian minority Harmony party who will now sit outside of Parliament? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
