Portugal today went to the polls to elect a new Prime Minister and form a new parliamentary coalition. Jose Socrates is expected to narrowly win out which will dissolve his absolute majority in the parliament but will maintain his socialist control over Portuguese government. May God be praised and exalted and the gospel spread no matter who wins!
