It appears the Christian Dems are on there way to victory against the liberal and socialist party. It's wierd because the C Dems are center left, and the latter is center right (I would presume it to be the other way around). But like the Liberal Democrat party in Japan (it leans right), the names are often confusing. After the narrow loss of Bugaira's socialist and Sego and the PS' defeat, this is welcome news. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think the Christian Democrats are really center left, more like just center or center right. And the liberal democrats are center  left, at least on account of their social agenda. The socialists, though, are the main left party, and they suffered the biggest losses. So I think the left lost. The only upside for the left is that the greens won, albeit less than the socialist parties lost (+8 seats for the greens, -14 for the socialists).
