I guess my point is less about the party specifically, are more that your country might not be collapsing quite so quickly if 49% of the population didn’t feel massively disenfranchised every 4 years, and if there were actually incentives for collaboration and compromise between different view points
I vote Green.
Because I live in a country with an actual proportional representation system, so my vote for a minor party still allows the major party that I most closely align with to gain power

If you can’t afford to pay your staff enough for them to want to work for you, then your business has failed - you just haven’t run out of cash yet.

What is the constitution if not a law?
Way back when I used to go to the football with dad - kids under 5 could take the train for free, but weren’t allowed in the stadium, so I was 4 on the train, and 5 when we got to the stadium

I’d love to live in a place with workable public transport, but where I live it would add an hour to my commute each way; effectively an extra 10 hours a week at work

Or, idk, the board or shareholders of the major companies built around his cult of personality could decide that having a person quite so toxic and prone to angry outbursts as their CEO doesn’t Enhance Shareholder Value
One of the single greatest things that happened in my lifetime imo. Without the breakup we’d be in a similar situation as the US - crappy service, sky high prices, no incentive to invest in maintenance or upgrades
I’m going to use that next time I need to bail out of a story I shouldn’t have started telling
In Germany (and other parts.od Europe as well to be fair) carts need you to put a coin in them to unchain them from their bay, which you get back when you chain them back up - so yeah, kinda, if you don’t put it back you loose your euro
