    Same story as in the US: material conditions are rapidly eroding. The people blame the current government so they vote for a change. The new party doesn’t do shit and instead actually just lets things get worse, so the people swing the other way. It’s indicative in both cases of a society that thinks “change” happens only at the ballot box.

      Yup, and this can only go for so long because after a few election cycles people start cluing in that their life’s getting worse regardless of what clowns are in charge.
