    Huh? Have you seen how they have been polling there in the last year or so? Doubly scary for countries with first past the post voting systems because liberals will vote for fascists if left is presented as an alternative.

      And some leftists may sit out important elections because they can’t vote for their favourite parties/independents without wasting it. FPTP is intentionally kept to force the public to choose between 2 bad options neoliberals or fascists. The neoliberals screw up and make inequality worse and people get angry and want for the fascist to win for the next election.
