The left wins elections when it is the victim of violence, it loses when it tries to use violence itself.

- zeth__ 9y agoThat's not how a multi party parliamentary democracy works. The Nazi were by far the largest party, it would have not been possible to make a parliament without them. That's the whole reason why there were two elections in 1932 and rule by decree from von Papen. Germany was headed for a third election in 8 months until the deal with Hitler.
