Notes
- The Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the People's Party (CDS–PP) contested the 2014 election in a coalition called Portugal Alliance (AP) and won a combined 27.7% of the vote and elected 7 MP's to the European parliament.
- Compared with the combined total of 0.91% of PPM and PPV/CDC in the 2014 EP elections.
gollark: *But* I also don't want it to unnecessarily add `bee/` to stuff if I just do `cyclogon -cf test.cyc bee` (to recursively add the `bee` folder).
gollark: I basically want to be able to say `cyclogon -cf test.cyc bee/apioform.txt bee/apiary.txt` and have it put in `bee/apioform.txt` at the path `bee/apioform.txt` in the archive.
gollark: <:BEES:825515690613145610> this, *why* am I having significant trouble just implementing a nice frontend for the compressional apiaries?
gollark: They're very small, and all sufficiently small things are equivalent.
gollark: If you had UTTERLY logread, you would see that I did check and found that frequency was continuous however.
