    Totally agree with you. I always view it as a big ship. It takes a long time to turn. If you keep voting left then it will keep moving left. But people say “both sides are the same” and then the right wins and the ship stops turning.

    Plus since majority of the country is voting right, doesn’t it follow that a lot of politicians will start moving right? Why be far left if being a little left loses?
