Please. The Western European, anti-immigrant voting slavs have nothing on our North American balcanic compatriots. We vote right in record proportions! For example the Canadian Bulgarians voted twice harder for the Revival party.
eli5?
Diaspora, while benefiting from free movement and pluralusm, often feel like they're losing their identity. In turn, they seek to symbolically reassert this identity by remote-voting for the most far-right maniac they can find. The fact that such a maniac would never have let them in, and will ruin the country, doesn't bother them as they don't live there anymore.
Filipinos included, oh and Turks.
Turks are probably the worst, imagine living in Germany and then voting for Erdogan, that's a different kind of hatred for your own people
A lot of turks living in Germany are(or descended from) poor, uneducated, turkish farmers who were imported to Germany many decades ago, as cheap labour, when Germany needed workers.
Not all immigrants(turkish or otherwise) are like that.
But, is there a method to the madness? Or are they just assholes? Are they voting the biggest idiot because they dont live there and want to watch their country burn (assholes) or do they somehow benefit here?
A lot of them have family living in the country that they are supporting with money
Thet benefit by feeling closer to (what they imagine is) their culture. We're talking about people who left for some quick cash and ended up spending 30, 40 years there. They have a daughter that's born there, grew up there, and never lived outside of there, and they worry she'll be sad when she has to break up with her boyfriend "when we all move back home". They feel like they're separated from their nation because they are, and psychologically deny this by voting for someone so rabidly and loudly nationalist they can hear him all the way in Frankfurt.
It's similar to folks from, idk, Boston, who will occasionally vacation in Ireland and conclude "they're not Irish at all over there, they don't even paint rivers green on St. Patty's!"
you know having uneducated right wing extremists is not exclusive to america. Every country has idiots. The educated, normal immigrants don't vote far right and tend to not be mentioned in any news.
It's a misconception/misrepresentation that they are more uneducated or idiotic than average. They may look like it (or the media make them so), but actual idiots wouldn't be as capable as they are to push their agenda forward.
they also tend to learn language and integrate more easily, because, you know, they aren't far right lunatics
strange
Immigrants voting for someone who would never let them into the country.
Makes sense, they're in and they want to pull that ladder right the duck up.
then how do they vote?
Becoming citizens
Hey, this guy starred in one of the only memes Iβve ever made. Neat.
Stupid fucks, go back to piss poor Romania or better yet, shove off to Russia. They remind me of the Volga-Germans who support the twat, Putin.
Pro-EU centrist NicuΕor Dan was on course to become Romaniaβs president on Sunday, according to exit polls, leading a run-off against an ultranationalist Eurosceptic who had topped the first round and raised fears about the countryβs pro-western orientation.

While I can't read the language, the website is done very well. Loads quickly, simple but not flashy. I'm always amazed what happens when governments just use technology for the benefit of the public.
Australia has a open source public transit tracker system, where on mobile and desktop, you can see near real-time positions of buses, trains, boats, and estimated percentages of how packed it is, and how late it is. All for free.
Loads quickly
11 seconds here after a five second wait thinking I could be a bot.
A little bit confused by the graph but it seems like he's solidly ahead with most votes counted? So he's secured the win?
Yes, thank god.
Just wait until you see the results of the Polish presidential election.
They are playing 4D chess: Dumbass, Disturbed, Duped, and Derpy are the four Ds.
And Dickhead.
