Summary/Abstract: This is an analysis of data from more exit polls from recent elections - regarding the vote for Romanian political parties in deeply political elections (for national Parliament and for European Parliament). The analysis shows interesting information about the share of votes for Right-wing parties, respectively Left-wing parties from Romania. We want to assess to what extent we are witnessing a major paradigm shift after the PSD (mail Left-wing party in Romania) victory in Parliamentary elections in 2016. Our hypothesis suggests that, on the contrary, although the result figures indicate a paradigm shift, in reality, the fundamental pillars of the Left and, respectively, of the Right remains the same in Romania.
