Portugal Results

Image from Internal Ministry results page
Well, much as expected: the centre-right PSD (remember, think of them as the moderate half of the Conservatives and the free-market half of the Lib Dems) has come out first. The Socialists have sagged a bit more than expected, so I really doubt that anyone but Coelho will make it to the PM's chair.

The PSD are probably close enough to run as a minority government. Alternatively, they might bring in the Popular Party as a coalition partner.

Edit: Just to clarify, these are provisional results with abut half the precincts reporting: the percentages will probably shift a bit overnight.
