The ruling party has Parliament majority thanks to its rural voters that are easy to fool and the lack of interest from the smart ones in voting.
Sometimes you don't seem to find a trustful figure to put that stamp on.

Not intending to start a political discussion here, as the tone of the post is rather optimistic (I did enjoy the festival greatly) but I don't believe in the "rural voters which are easier to fool" mantra anymore. If you look at the profile of the ruling party voters, you will see a lot of urban voters between 35-50, who have strong ties with the state apparatus (city hall clerks, civil servants, etc).
So it's more like a strongly pervasive mentality of "let them steal a lot if they leave us steal a little" than a really big discrepancy in the IQ of Romania inhabitants.
