Surveys have fluctuated wildly in the run-up to election day, but observers believe that whichever party wins the most seats in this Wednesday’s parliamentary elections in the Netherlands may need support from at least three other parties to govern.

Argentina elects Javier Milei as far right rejoice around the world The global far-right celebrated yesterday as Argentina went to the polls to elect far-right candidate Javier Milei – with Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro celebrating his victory. Experts are predicting that Buenos Aires could now become the new stomping ground for the populist radical right. His victory could be the first in a triple across the Americas, with Trump running for reelection in the United States in 2024, and Bolsonaro eyeing up Brazil’s 2026 election.

An unexpected consequence.

Radical political change in Argentina and an uncertain future BBC News says Javier Milei’s victory sends a clear message – Argentines wanted change and he was the candidate most likely to deliver it. His rise to the top was swift. A former economist and pundit, Mr Milei was relatively unknown before winning the primaries back in August. But his brash manner, radical campaign proposals, as well as his unruly hairstyle, got him noticed. In a country mired in economic crisis, where annual inflation is now over 140% and two in five Argentines now live in poverty, a drastic new approach…

Javier Milei: Argentina has ‘non-negotiable’ sovereignty over Falklands The Telegraph says Javier Milei, the Argentinian president-elect, believes the Falkland Islands belong to his country – but says the islanders must have a say in their future. Mr Milei is less hostile to Britain than Alberto Fernandez, his Left-wing predecessor, who demanded immediate negotiations to end what he called an “anachronistic colonial situation” on the islands. Argentina has claimed the Falklands since its independence in the 19th century, and failed to seize them by force during the 1982 Falklands War. Mr Milei lauded Margaret Thatcher, who is still reviled in Argentina…

In Argentina, Javier Milei faces a massive economic crisis The Economist says To an American audience, Argentina’s election may seem uncannily familiar. A political outsider with bouffant hair and a history of outrageous remarks promises to make the country “great again”, and is written off by the liberal elite before winning the presidential poll with a large backing of the population, many of whom feel left behind. Yet the election, on November 19th, of Javier Milei, a self-described “anarcho-capitalist”, is not a repeat of Donald Trump’s playbook in the pampas. Mr Milei faces a far trickier economic situation than any…
