De ce continuă românii să susțină partidele politice dacă 80% cred că țara merge într-o direcție greșită. Explicațiile unui analist

Despite 80% of Romanians believing the country is heading in the wrong direction, support for major political parties remains stable. Analyst Cristian Pîrvulescu discusses the reasons behind this phenomenon, emphasizing the lack of credible alternatives and the fear of political opponents. He notes that voters may continue to support a party even when dissatisfied, as they perceive no viable options. Scandals do not always lead to a loss of support, as public perception and institutional responses play significant roles. Pîrvulescu highlights that a politician's image can withstand scandals if they align with their established persona. Ultimately, voters may withdraw support when a leader becomes a liability for their party, often following institutional signals rather than personal discontent.
