On behalf on the majority that did not vote for this government, I want to apologize. We are not happy either and will try to do better next time.

Meanwhile enjoy this preview picture of a Fazer chocolate chocolate bar with custom text on it. I can not afford to actually send you one.

I'm American. We're notoriously uniformed about the rest of the world. Can you explain what's happening, please?

In short: The new government is alarmingly right-winged. Some have been accused of being nazi sympathisers. Also as a new thing we have conspiracy theories that some high government officials believe in. Oh and they want to dial back on useless money draining things such as social security (e.g. monetary help) So a bit like what you guys have there!

I'm sorry for you. It's hard to see your government taken over by hateful horrible people and it makes you feel so frustrated and disconnected. It's exhausting! Majority or not, sometimes the loudest asshole wins and becomes the face of your nation.
