They gave the fascists a bloody nose. Unfortunately, the vote was split between the two decent parties, but enough chose the Greens to beat Reform into second place.
The combined ‘sensible’ votes came to 65% BUT there was only a 47.2% voter turnout! Ouch. We have to find a way to interest folk in Democracy again.
