Simboli, you look at these elections with a western lens. That model does not hold in Albania. The thing about PS being a big party and structured is true, but the truth is much more mundane.

People vote en masse for two things:

1) Conventional voting. My father voted this way, my grandfather voted this way, etc...

2) Who can give me a job for 10-20 votes, or 50 euros for 1 vote. That's why parties in power have a massive advantage.

No one cares about teams, etc...It's mostly about ground game. Going door to door, and promising them things.

Final tally is almost through. PS won about 50,000 more votes than 2013, so not a massive change from last time.

With last elections turnout they would have won about 69-70 seats (I predicted 67-69). Even PS themselves didn't think they would get 74. People staying home massively helped them. I can't wait until they win 85 seats with 30% turnout next time :D

I don't think so. Between Rama and Veliaj I think they'll be in power for the next 12-16 years.

It's scary man...U kthye Partia e Punes prape ne fuqi per vite me radhe.

S'po them qe Rama dhe Veliaj jane komunist, sepse nuk jane, por eshte nje metafor per Shqiperine. Dhe nje parti e re si PD-ja qe u krijua, u rrenua nga brenda nga themeluesi i saj.

Hysni Milloshi ruined Rama's election against Basha back in 2011 for Tirana's Mayor.
Rama sounds more populist althrough he leads a left party.

Basha nuk u dorehoq. Ngriu funksionet e tij brenda ne parti dhe i hapi rruge zgjedhjeve te brendshme. Ai nuk ja me te drejte te futet ne zyren e kryetarit te PDse . Shpresoj qe konkurenca te krijoje nje kandidat kunder tij e jo disa pasi do favorizonin direkt Bashen. Te pakten zgjedhjet brenda PDse ekzistojne akoma ndryshe nga PSja ku Edi Rama nuk i la te drejte Ben Blushit te kandidonte kunder tij.

Rama was dead set on making an alliance with PD to crush LSI, but even he never thought he'd get a majority. That alliance might be dead now.

Berisha might end up in jail, if PD doesn't go in government. Meta will escape if he has political immunity as President.

That Tirana election was so ironic. Those 10 votes PD stole, and made Basha mayor, exposed Basha as a fraud for when he ran nationally, and destroyed PD entirely.

If Basha never became a mayor, he would have hid his incompetence.

PD hoqi Astrit Patozin. PS hoqi Ben Blushin. Te vetmit dy intelektuale ne partite e medha u hoqen nga autokratet.

Ai parlament ka marr funde. Hiqen intelektualet, vihen kaubojsat qe blejne karrige me 200,000 euro. Keto parti jane krimbur nga kemba ne koke.

Kaubojsi nuk mori asnje vote. Ndersa ndryshe nga Blushi ki parasysh se Patozi eshte akoma anetar i PDse dhe mund te kandidoje nese ia ndien.

Perderisa edhe kisha katolike u kerkonte besimtarve te mos shisnin voten do te thote se si fenomen ka qene shume i pranishem.

Une besoj se deri ne fund te mandatit do firojne disa deputete nga LSIja drejt PSse sepse iu duhen leket ;)
