    “We had a right-wing party supporting the billionaire class and things got worse.”

    “Then we had an extreme right-wing party even more strongly supporting the billionaire class and things got even worse.”

    “Then we had another right-wing party supporting the billionaire class and things carried on getting worse.”

    “Basically, the more right-wing things got, and the more billionaire-supporting it got, the worse it got.”

    “As long as this area is owned by billionaires and run by the right-wing, things are going to continue getting worse.”

    “That’s why we’ve decided that the best solution would be to go with the extreme far right party, who are overwhelmingly in support of the billionaire class, but who are also racist.”

    As always, the problem is billionaires, the blame lands on immigrants.
