Elections in the USA, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and, in this particular state of the world, Iraq and Afghanistan would be the main news in our TV (if there was not a dramatic event elsewhere). Elections in Poland, Austria, India, Japan, Belgium, Netherlands, Israel, and some more countries would be among the top three news. Elections in Ireland, Switserland, Australia, Canada, Palestine, South Africa (except for the first inclusive election) and many others would be read among 'other events of the day'.

I was always interested in what happens in other countries.

To those who are interested (both links are in English):
