    Living in Europe this is fairly easy te remember. None of the choices are great, but they definitely exist.

    Yeah, it’s a choice among:

    all out evil

    Definitely evil, but still pretending to be good. (Weirdly,they’re the only capable party, and though at least half of the stuff they champion is awful, the amount of things they get done that aren’t evil is somehow still larger than whatever good any less evil party can get done. It’s still not worth it, to be clear, it’s just a shitty quirk of this political climate.)

    Doesn’t yet realize they’re evil, but they are

    Half good hearted but misguided, half foreign agents trying to sow discord

    Great except for one issue, will never get a high portion of the vote

    Great all around, will really never get a high portion of the vote

    Guess the country and guess the parties for a sense of being quick on the uptake and in on the joke.

    hint for the last twoI’m in favor of giving Ukraine weapons and pro European unity

    The UK also has 1st-past-the-post voting, yet polling is showing that people are rejecting their 2 big parties: Labour (liberal capitalists) and the Tories (sociopathic capitalists), in favor of Reform (psychotic capitalists) and the Green party (ethical environmentalists).
