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.
