    Living in Europe this is fairly easy te remember. None of the choices are great, but they definitely exist.

      Yeah, it’s a choice among:

      all out evil

      Definitely evil, but still pretending to be good. (Weirdly,they’re the only capable party, and though at least half of the stuff they champion is awful, the amount of things they get done that aren’t evil is somehow still larger than whatever good any less evil party can get done. It’s still not worth it, to be clear, it’s just a shitty quirk of this political climate.)

      Doesn’t yet realize they’re evil, but they are

      Half good hearted but misguided, half foreign agents trying to sow discord

      Great except for one issue, will never get a high portion of the vote

      Great all around, will really never get a high portion of the vote

      Guess the country and guess the parties for a sense of being quick on the uptake and in on the joke.

      hint for the last two

      I’m in favor of giving Ukraine weapons and pro European unity

          Pretty close- maybe I should have mentioned being bitter about our anachronistic coal usage in the spoiler. I didn’t include BSW, so it goes afd, cdu, spd, greens, die linke, and volt, though I would also put BSW in that category.

          Would be my guess as well, though I’m unsure about the CDU/CSU getting more good stuff done than other less shitty parties. The last administration did pretty well mostly thanks to the Greens even though the media kept bashing it to no end, and I do not want to imagine a world with a CxU/SPD coalition during the chaos after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

          Also I think The Left is far less likely to get a significant share of votes than the Greens.
