The article is auto-translated (click the X a few times if you get a cookie dialog).

tl;dr: The far left coalition of socialists, eco-fascists and libertarians fell apart today. The libertarians finally pulled the plug after losing almost all of their voters. There will likely be new elections in March.

The Libertarians deserve it for siding with socialists and fascists.

Oh yea, I used to like them and still kinda respect some of them for opposing most of the corona tyranny ... but damn ... the shit they did in this government ...

If they're REALLY REALLY lucky they'll make it over the 5% hurdle by ending the coalition. Right now they're at 3%-ish in polls, used to be 10-15% IIRC.

If I've learned anything, I've learned that political loyalty is retarded and you should only vote for people you want to win, not because someone else is worse. If you don't fire them, they don't learn.
