Was Spain already left-ish compared to Europe?

The damned queen and the relentless knight.

Europe's too big and too diverse for it to be said to be moving to the right as a whole.

But it's undeniable that a significant chunk of it is doing that.

Like Poland.

Wow, only a few years old and it might be running the country soon by a wide majority.

I gotta say, having a hard left party rise to power in this global political climate is surprising to me. What's Spain's deal?

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

spain's deal is that when somebody tells us pretty things we blindly follow him even if his proposals are crazy, stupid, or unfeasible

seriously everything that comes out of their leader's mouth is cheap populism, appealing to anger and sentimentalism

current polls place them third

i seriously hope they never get into power, they are terrifying

@Lunar: oho that does sound cool

@Wacky: like norm that really seems odd to me

I guess in part because I still think of Mr. Rabbit.

But I agree with the sentiment tgat Europe is too varied to make any sort of generalisation

Guess I should pay more attention to Spanish politics

Also because people seemed to be unsure abput whrn I was returning just to clarify

It is the start of the secknd last day of travel for me right now

So I'll be back on the third day and trying to move the rp asap

i am somewhat envious of any country with enough political diversity to have a feasible super left-wing party on principle, just because its not something we'll ever have

even if they're terrible people it'd at least be a different kind of terrible, and i feel like that's the most i can ask for at this point

also as far as yakuza goes, I'm not overly fond of Saejima so far. he's like Vincent but with less floral language and wider shoulders

Oddly enough the NDP were further to the right about weed than the Liberals were.

Not that it's important or anything.

Although maybe that's just Trudeau.

Who knows.

It's an irrelevant factoid either way.

It's still early.

We'll have to see what actually goes down and all that.

Too soon to tell.

while id prefer that as well

one of our only two real parties is the party of donald trump and co.

not to be too glib but if a party of crazy motherfuckers was only polling in third, that'd be a significant improvement
