yeah, this is gonna need updating
Eh. Obviously not great and of course it will get worse but a scale from 5.2 to 5.6 is bound to look extreme in either direction.

That’s how the majority of non-english speaking democracies work.
Some argue that voting for partys that represent ideologies over specific personalities leads to healthier democracy.
