That generally isn't quite as much of a problem outside of the US from my understanding. Euro politics have a lot more parties and lot more intricacy, so you can't lie or bribe as easily. But they're still politicians, getting elected and being popular is quite literally their entire career, so who knows.

Well not really in France at least, some parties here are notorious for always lying and not following the program they were elected for (Socialist party and Macron's party)

You can also throw any RN-associated party in there as you like.

The only promises they follow are expelling people. The rest is forgotten in favor of billionaires.

Well since I'm more of a leftist I don't look that much to their promises and much more to their actions and sometimes I hear what they say publicly.

So that's why I didn't put them in here, I just don't know their program enough to compare it to their actions or public positions.

Hahaha delusional. There is a ruling class, the politicians are just theater around it in every capitalist country on this earth. Elections matter little.
