When you look closely, the most undemocratic of them are also taking the most money...

The only truly undemocratic country on that list is Hungary.

Hoping for the best and preparing for the wost is the way of life.

As of now they are undemocratic as hell.

New PM is pro eu and the coalition is democratic. A lot of the judiciary corruption that happened is going to get reversed fast.

Day to day it's not really undemocratic, it was mostly about popular issues to solidify right wing outrage.

Still, I'm glad it's over.

We're there elections in Poland recently? What were the results?

[โ€“] magikmw@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Right "won" but progressives have a majority coalition that just elected a PM. We should be ok.

It's not all in leftism, but they are in the government, first time since before WW2.

In previous elections "left" was just previous regime surviviors.

Isn't a rotten apple enough to spoil the whole basket? At least we have this proverb in my country...

Meanwhile France is doing a police state and Italy elected fascists...
