Leading Romanian Social Democrat Adrian Nastase, who was Prime Minister between 2000 and 2004, recently wrote on his blog that the Romanians "who left their country a few years ago, even if they read the press and are informed, have no direct contact with reality. They are not directly affected by rules and taxes, or even by a vision about the future - in health care, education, etc. As a result, their vote should weigh less. We need to debate this topic in the future."
The diaspora vote has become a bone of contention in Romania after Romanians living abroad voted overwhelmingly in favor of incumbent President Basescu. Mr. Basescu barely defeated Social Democrat Mircea Geoana.
