no. Israel is a catastrophe of a parliamentary system, binary coalitions governed by tiny marginal fringes. France is a weird presidential system. 1/

Nordics and Germany are struggling with a global recrudescence of fascism like everyone else, but they are doing better than most places at simultaneously representing that tendency and marginalizing them to their actual support levels. 2/

no contemporary parliamentary democracy that i know of has sufficiently addressed gridlock/status-quo bias and collapse to coalitions. the threat places like Germany face is voters give AfD a chance because the negative coalition of a cordon sanitaire proves too dysfunctional. /fin
