Brazil

 

Thank God it is over, I just hope Bolsonaro goes quietly rather than following the example of his idol Trump. At least now the Amazon stands a better chance of survival.

Brazil is a large country, about the same size as the United States, in fact all the countries of the EU would fit into it twice over and there are 156 million people eligible to vote. Even so, when the polling stations closed yesterday at 5pm, the results were out by 9pm the same evening. I can´t understand why the electronic voting system here, which is admired internationally, is not adopted by other countries where the counting and recounting of ballots by hand seems to drag on interminably. 

Anyway, January 1st will be the start of a new era.
