As voters in the United States have just cooled down from the 2012 election season, contests across the globe are just heating up. From Ukrain's disputed election, to Egypt, which held its first democratic election in centuries, a stream of countries are set for or have held highly contentious and internationally influential elections this year. Here is a look at the most-hotly watched international elections taking place in 2012. In late October, Western observers deemed the Ukranian parliamentary election unfair, claiming that its results were marred by a delayed vote count and other irregularities. Clouded vote tallying and the imprisonment of Yulia Tymoshenko, President Viktor Yanukovich's opponent, led to the turmoil caused by the Oct. 28 election. Tymonshenko is serving a seven-year term following her conviction for abuse of office in October 2011 but her supporters claim that her imprisonment was politically motivated.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
