Lithuanian election

Once again the Lithuanian parliamentary elections have produced a bit of a mogre for the forthcoming parliament. The most successful party, the Christian Democrats, got 19.07% - the reigning Social Democratic Party was fourth with 11.84% (all after counting 1929 out of 2034 wards), with the National Revival Party and the Law and Order Party (the mind boggles) in between. I have a feeling the first three are all right-wing. Kubilius, the leader of the winning party, looks shockingly aged.

What sort of government will we get?

Kubilius was a really good prime minister for his brief spell in 1998 (or 9). Don't know anything about the rest of his party, though.
