Yes, all the Mertz, Macron, Starmer and unelected Brussels ones have officially about 10-20% approval rating.

This is in fact mind boggling and I am still wondering how it is even possible.

My guess is most of those positive approval are boomers who watch TV and are less impacted by their policies because they own their house and receive their retirements, they are highly incentivised to keep the train going. Or people who directly benefit from their policies.

What I still can't explain is Trump can still maintain a much higher approval ratings with in a country with similar demographic profile, even after literally doing the exact opposite than he promised.

So my guess is the support for the current system and the people running it in Europe is probably less than 5% among the population who will still be around in 10-20 years.

So the current political system is literally levitating on a cloud of old people which is disappearing at a rate of about 10% per year. So one way or another this is gonna get ugly.
