Global Reactions US Presidential Elections: Election cliffhanger transfixes world, fuels fears in Europe for fate of U.S. democracy
People around the world were transfixed by America’s cliffhanger vote count Wednesday, with the presidential election still too close to call. President Trump’s premature victory claim and false allegations of voter fraud were met with expressions of shock and fear over the state of U.S. democracy, along with disparagement on the part of U.S. adversaries.

EU sighs relief after 'decisive' Johnson victory in UK - by Eszter Zalan
EU leaders have expressed hope on Friday (13 December) that British
prime minister Boris Johnson's decisive electoral victory will bring
clarity on the UK side on Brexit, and negotiations can start quickly on
the future relations.
EU leaders sounded relieved that Johnson's success might speed up the Brexit process that has been in deadlock for months, as they reconvened on Friday for their summit in Brussels.
A divided British parliament has been unable to ratify the withdrawal negotiated with the EU, some three and a half years after the initial referendum 'Leave' result in 2016.
"It is a good result for the UK to have a stable a majority," Luxembourgish prime minister Xavier Bettel told reporters.
"No excuses, he [Johnson] needs to deliver now," Bettel warned.

Europe welcomes Obama win, but with less enthusiasm than in 2008 - by Eric Reguly
Four years ago, Europe was ecstatic about the end of the era of George W. Bush, whom they blamed for the financial crisis and two highly unpopular wars, and the election of a young president who represented change and hope and possibly a more productive transatlantic relationship.
On Wednesday morning, Europe was decidedly less enthusiastic about Mr. Obama’s re-election, but certainly happier than the alternative. Mitt Romney failed to make a good impression on his European visit in August.
They considered Mr. Romney more trigger-happy than his rival and his apparently wholesale support for Israel did not go over well in a continent that puts the Middle East in its own neighbourhood. Some countries, like Spain, that are suffering from recessions made worse by grinding austerity measures were also philosophically opposed to a candidate who pushed hard for government spending cuts.
The Guardian newspaper, in Britain, did not consider Mr. Obama’s victory in a long, nasty campaign a reward for achievement. “In the end Mr Obama owes his second term more to his vast campaign war chest and the ruthless professionalism of his get-out-the-vote machine than he did the first time around, when hope and idealism did more to carry him to the White House.”
In France, Le Monde was tempered its support and praise for Mr. Obama. It called him “not always brilliant, but solid.”
In Italy, Rome’s Il Messaggero newspaper professed some surprise that Mr. Obama was re-elected, given the tepid economic revival and the still-high (though declining) jobless rate. In a comment piece, Riccardo de Palo said that “Only Franklin Delano Roosevelt succeeded in the feat of getting re-election against a backdrop of such a unfavourable economy,” adding that Mr. Obama’s second term will be no picnic for man who is “less charismatic, but more mature, less naive.”
