Just a random story I wanted to share from my country (Malaysia).

Last election we voted harder than ever and managed to unseat the incumbent ruling party for the first time since our independence more than 50 years ago.

Everyone was high on the victory and expected a new dawn where we can look forward to a better future.

Merely 2 years later, the new government fell when the infighting spiraled out of control and elected politicians switched allegiance depending on who can offer better security & benefits.

Now the previous ruling party is in power again without even winning a general election and many of us are so jaded that we wondered if it's even worth voting again when the next election comes since there's no guarantee that whoever we voted for will not jump ship when it's beneficial for them.
