Sometimes, I really hate democracy. Now, before you burn a swastika on my head with your branding iron, hear me out. I don’t hate the *concept* of democracy, in fact, I fucking love that everybody is allowed to participate in governance, this is how it ought to be. HOWEVER, how can it be that voters are at the same time so forgetful and shortsighted?
Let me explain: The same that is happening in Slovakia with Fico is happening in Germany: The new gov has been really trying its best to undo the big pile of shit the CDU had done in the 20 years before them, but of course they can’t solve *every* problem and coincidentally, a bunch of more problems like the war in Ukraine came up and sure, it’s tough on our people. So, how do the German people vote? All the current polls point at a CDU-led coalition (worst case scenario, CDU+AfD) because the current gov has in their opinion **failed** them. So every attempt at change is welcomed with a massive pushback if things don’t go smoothly af, which is just detached from reality.
Can the pro EU ones from government
Lol RobertO Fico was president of the lower house of Italian parliament until last year
Robert Fico “no”
only promises to stop military assistance to Ukraine, but also declares that the European Union has become a puppet in the hands of the United States and accuses the president of an anti-Slovak conspiracy with George Soros.” listen, it’s probably worth passing a direct law at the level of the European Union that if a politician remembers Soras, then I automatically ban him from holding public office (they just ate to believe all these politicians, then Soras at the same time wants to destroy for some reason all the strange but very much of everything from the country), well, it’s just that this is hidden and mercenary anti-Semitism just
More ignorance – more populists – more ignorance and populists – more feudal elements and the risk of WMD proliferation – self-destruction of humanity.
If we don’t do something now – it will be too late tomorrow. The only thing I can come up with is reducing citizens taxes after they confirm knowledge of cognitive biases, logical fallacies, defense mechanisms. Or even knowledge of psychology, sociology, anthropology, culturology.

SMER and SNS are pro Russia.
Possibly coalitions: SMER, HLAS, SNS or PS, HLAS, KDH, SASKA.
5% threshold: two parties returns (KDH and SNS) and two lost there seats
