'Far' or 'extremist' ideologies almost always tend to have big failures throughout the history as a mature enough mind and logic shifts to no extremist sides!
And all the center left could muster was Zourabichvili?
She is a French born and was France's diplomat to Georgia until she was 52 years old when she switched citizenship and became Georgian citizen and immediately became Georgia 's foreign ministry. I can imagine why some Georgians don't like this.
You’re gonna be this obtuse, huh? Normally, newly elected governments don’t burn through political capital this quickly unless they do something most people really didn’t want them to do… like elect a president in parliament instead of through popular elections as is the norm.
I beg your pardon, my bad. Snice they changed the Constitution just now, it gives the whole issue a bitte taste. In Germany, the people also aren´t able to vote for the President- but it´s been like this since 1949.
Well we tend to go first in movies so yeah. And we have resources in Africa they don’t need the people there. It can be a big mine or even a huge parking lot but we reproduce fast that seems to be a threat to the white population somehow. As if we told them not to so yeah let’s se how it pans out
the right-wing ideas are incompatible with the idea of democracy and freedom, just look at Hungary and Georgia.
America is still a free nation only because we have strong institutions. But long can they shield us from authoritarianism?
I think you already gave your "strong institutions" away to a king and the richest man in the world. Yours truly is the land of opportunities, for them
Read this carefully: For the first time, the president was chosen not by a national election, but in parliament by a direct ballot of a 300-member electoral college made up of MPs and representatives of local government.
Happens in many many countries around the world. Member of parliaments are elected by citizens and then member of parliaments elect a president among themselves, elected members. I think India has this system as well.
We are talking about a country that usually vote for a president.. this vote bypassed the will of the people. Exactly what Trump wants, so that your vote in unnecessary.

President is immune + Supermajority > military force use on citizens on domestic soil > no more fair elections
We are all set up for it as soon as like 1.5 months.
The EU is solely responsible for a fair labor market for soccer talent across Europe
In both wages, contracts and transfers
