> Also, I thought while reading that, “you guys have a hobbit as head of state. You wanna be talking this loud?” Kek, yeah. I don't think even the left take that little gremlin seriously. Mostly he won because: * No one wanted the corrupt "right wing" candidate * No one wanted the IRA candidate * The other popular lefty candidate was pro-palestinian and got smeared by an anonymous pro-israeli whistleblower and the press * There was a popular non-establishment candidate who looked like he might have won, but he was smeared by the state broadcaster. They claimed he was associated with the CIA and eastern european arms dealing, but they had no evidence of either. Years later he won a defamation case against them for a few million euros, but the jounalist who created the smear saw no consequences (actually she was promoted) and no one was fired.
