'cause they're dumb
countries are run practically by "legal" mobs
plus people are just too docile and too easily distracted by infraction distraction.

There is a saying: "we need the eligible, not the capable"
basically any job that can be fixed (any job in institutions that are not private firms like: municipal, school, infirmary, hospital) is obtained through political membership card and any position that can weight influemce can only go to sheeple. (from principals, police cheifs, heads of non-governmental organizations, etc.)

So other people just lost interest in politics. So now politicians and government are not selected by people but sheeple.

Stupid people are easy to manipulate.

There's not much intellect coming out of Croatia.
