this election as opposed to last 2 is right before the election netanyahu looks like he's leading which may not be the best place for him he likes to scare people 'd that he's going to lose he's losing the election if they don't get out and vote now they have a different tactic because they seem to be leading in the polls that they have some momentum going and now they're fighting for people that either will stay home because they think his victory is assured or they'll vote for one of the smaller parties in the block because they believe he's he's going to be the prime minister or he has the best chance anyway. the promise * of swift anticorruption measures has helped push slovakia's center right opposition to victory in parliamentary elections the ordinary people group secured around a quarter of the votes enough to beat the ruling center left party which is controlled so back in politics for more than a decade the murder of a journalist who was looking into widespread corruption dominated much of the discussion leading up to the election. donald trump's trip to india
