Fidel Castro regularly gave speeches that lasted for hours, with a record of 7+ hours in 1986. No one dared to be the first one to stop clapping after Stalin's orations. Nicolae Ceaucescu also gave many speeches, interrupted with "thunderous applause," until December 21, 1989.

Based on the '23 election, Slovakia is at 5.62% SNS + 4.75% Republika + 2.21% Sme rodina + 0.84% ĽS NS = 13.42% and then there's the now national-social Smer, with 23%, which would add up to 36.4%, taking it to the other end of the ranking.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.
