How is it that now, with all we know about the history of Authoritarianism, there's a western country full of people who want a Fascist to be... wait, nevermind.

@BohemianBoo Nah, only 25% voted for that stuff. The problems are:
1) 36% didn't vote and
2) the rest of those that voted were spread among multiple parties/coalitions
Now, 1/3 of the seats are given with a FPTP system so she won a lot of seats. Had it been fully proportional, it would be the typical Italian government made with an orgy of incompatible parties - none of which with a very solid majority - and that would've ended in a government crisis within a timespan between 10 minutes and 2 months.
