  1. When it comes to politics, I keep seeing a pattern emerging across countries, the left get into power, they stay in for 1, 2 or 3 terms, they don't deliver or mess things up, voters get angry and switch to the right, rinse and repeat that process on the right and we have this merry-go-round that keeps repeating its self every decade or so, the end result is that it doesn't really change much overall and these swings from left to right of politics is normal as voters get fed up with either side under delivering or lying. The far right are gaining power across Europe, they've got a short window to deliver before voters turn against them, especially considering that the main reason people are voting for them is because they are fed up with mainstream parties, but these voters will expect solid results and if they don't deliver, that honeymoon could be short-lived for the far right, basically, they are in a better position to be heard, they better deliver on what the people want or the people will turn on them, which if history is any indicator, governments are not very good at listening to the concerns of the people unless the issue is so big that they can't ignore it. To give you a few examples, the US every 4 to 8 years swings from Democratic to Republic Party and that cycle always happens, in the UK, they are swinging towards the left because the right have been in power for so long and have made a mess over so many things like cost of living, Covid, Brexit and so on that people are fed up with them and are swinging towards the left of politics, across Europe, things seem to be swinging across the right, people expect real change, I say, good luck with that because if history is any indicator, real change is something people have to fight for or have a revolution on, what we will get with the far right is more of the same BS that we get from other parties, and eventually people will get fed up with them for not listening to voters concerns and improving things, rinse and repeat and the cycle continues.
