    We elected him as the “last rempart to the extreme right”. Turns out he and his cronies are corrupted authoritarian fucks. Their shit social and economic policies are opening a highway to the actual far right in the near future, most likely 2027.

        More like shitty electoral system that facilitates the choice of a lesser evil instead of the choice for the best candidate.

            They have proportional representation and a ton of parties. It’s a completely different kind of suck. Although I guess they also are presidential.

          So what would be a good system? FPTP also sucks, or at least does for local minority voters like me, or if both parties become weak for whatever reason like in the US.

            Maybe ranked choice voting, coupled with a parliamentary system instead of a presidential one ? I don’t think there is a perfect system but it would probably move things around in a better direction.
