MODERATORS
If they are getting 40% of the vote that is pretty mainstream bub.
Fact is, “extremism” is on the rise all over the world. Far right and far left governments are getting elected in every continent.
Looks a lot like the first half of the XX century. Very scary
What far left government got elected recently?
For one Mexico. Slowly turning into a dictatorship just like Venezuela.
We will get to see again which is worse, far right or far left. Bets taken
It should be 51% of the vote that a government gets elected on.
Why should the 60% be ruled by the 40% when they’re a minority.
What if no party recieved 50% or more and everyone is under, then what?
Run off elections or ranked choice voting. fairvote.org
Than a coalition is made.
And if one party is opposed to the concept of coalitions or even cooperating with othe rparteis?
If your party fundamentally doesn't want to participate in a coalition, they don't want to govern, they just want power.
As a rule, don't vote for people that don't want to govern and just want power.
I agree, but the CPC has other ideas, and the pundits seem to think it's inevitable that they'll win the next election.
That's a good rule. It's a shame you can't tell people how to vote though, really.
Another election could be called
Then they should have won more of the vote.
Far left is not just communist/socialist statist authoritarianism. Anarchism and socialism out-right reject any form of non-democratic organization. Their meanings have been shot to smithereen by various right wing groups
