Do you approve your president/prime minister?

I dislike the Romanian president and prime minster. They're both too right wing for my taste (then again, so is every other politician from here). Heck, people from their party were even acting as apologetics to the Oslo terrorist attack.

The whole eastern bloc is still going through a period of anti-communist reaction, which is to say the whole thing is swinging to the right because the Left still reminds people of the dark times, it'll even out eventually.

Catastrophes blamed for one political wing usually put them out of power for a long time. The Republicans weren't really viable opposition for the Democrats until almost 40 years after 1929, but they came back eventually (much as i dislike them, the point is they swung back from a period of anti-Republican New Deal reactionism), or how the Democrats lacked real national leadership power in America since they were blamed for the Civil War, they weren't *really* in power for like 65 years

So it may take a while, but it'll even out.

Thing is, Romanian has never really had a strong left wing. Communists only came to power here thanks to Moscow rigging elections and bringing them to power by force. Romania actually joined WWII on Germany's side, and it has normally always been as right wing (if not more) as a southern US state (such as Texas). People over here are essentially against any liberal ideeas and they see things like 'anti-racism policies' or 'anti-homohobic policies' as 'corruption' from the West, and attempt to destroy 'traditional values'. Most of the people here agree with most of the Oslo terrorist's ideeas, and this is not an "anti-communist reaction".
