Question Everything

Italy's elections were tied. The center-left technically won, but by such a tiny margin that the election was basically tied. If every voter in Italy flipped a coin, you'd get results like this. Obviously, not everyone in Italy decided randomly but it's very interesting that the collective decision of Italian voters so closely resembles a coin flip. In this, Italy is part of a pattern within the Western world. The last two elections in the US were more or less tied, as was the last election in Germany. I don't know what's causing this pattern, but it's very interesting. It's possible these "coin flip" elections are in part a byproduct of rising cynicism about politicans and representative democracy.
