      Then run for election. That’s the point of democracy. If our leaders are bad, there’s no one to blame but ourselves.

      Obligatory addendum: A downvote does not constitute a counter-argument.

        The problem is countries like Hungary, where 70% of the population is rural, don’t speak a word of English and all they consume is state controlled terrestrial media

          Agreed, it’s definitely a problem. And in fact it’s even worse because it turns out that today’s supposedly progressive and well-informed youngsters in fact get their news from TikTok and tend to vote for authoritarian populists even in western Europe.

          Again: downvoting facts, sticking one’s fingers in one’s ears and going “lalalalala”, does not make the facts go away. It is an inconvenient fact that far-right parties across Europe are doing particularly well among young voters.

            I find it kind of ironic how you complain about downvotes while supporting democracy. I’m not saying whether I agree or disagree with you, I’m not saying either if I think you are right or wrong. But just like in a democracy votes represent the opinion of those who decided to vote. Being right won’t mean you get the votes. You should just accept them and stop complaining about them.

              No, adding something useful to the discussion should get you a vote. The fact that other idiots agree with you does not magically make your contribution thoughtful, or insightful, or productive in any other way.

      Parties are the expression of voters. There is a general unease about immigration. To some extent I understand this. When people’s status quo is at risk defensive walls go up. In Italy they worried about the 150000 people that cross the Mediterranean each year, yet the population keeps declining in that country. There is no way to sustain growth with a declining population unless you change the economics of that country. But here to its a mess in Italy. Their debt is huge.
