More than half of the voters are senile and will vote for the same conservative party again and again. Which can only do two things: lie and enrich themselves and their coporate buddies if in government or block and obstruct if not.
The rest has 3 options: ignore politics in silence as the country is obviously lost, leave the obviously country or vote for insane extremists as any change is perceived to be better than more decades of slow and steady decay to make the 1% richer.
And thanks to a constant onslaught of social media brain-rot and propaganda a lot of the less educated pick the latter one.
To give you a proper perspective: the same party leading the government for the vast majority in the last decades is in power again. They campaigned on the same lies as they do every 4 years, they broke every single of their promises within weeks after being elected again. They spend most of their time spouting nonsensical culture war bullshit to divert from all their corruption scandals (often dating back several terms) again. And at the same time they barely lost 2% in polls. Because their voters are just brain-dead.
Also -as all conservatives nowadays are embracing Trumpism- they are the far-rights biggest helpers happily pushing populism, culture war and xenophobia as a way to divert from their constant money grabs… while also constantly moving further to the right to get the extremist voters back (they don’t…) while alienating every other democratic party.
Their whole modus operandi is basically you either do what we say or we will block everything. And unless there is a sudden increase in old age mortality they will go on like this forever until the country is so broken that the next fascist government and the rubble thereafter will be an improvement indeed.
