#Romania politics, and the public commentariat around it, is ever more puzzling.

The supposedly "responsible" parties further insist on not seeking compromise solutions to demonstrate how irresponsible was their former partner, even after the president proposes for PM a candidate that is politically close to them.

They still seem to prefer a nationalist alliance in government, apparently to prove a point?

See eg Florin Negruțiu openly calling for a PSD-AUR government https://republica.ro/nu-e-bine-domnule-nicusor-dan

Nu e bine, domnule Nicușor Dan!

Guvernul independent Tomac este fie unul de sacrificiu, fie unul la plesneală.

For example, Hotnews editors also seem to prefer AUR in government, if I get their reasoning?

"What would be worse in a democracy: to bring to power a party with undemocratic inclinations, but elected by the citizens, or to ignore the will of the people?"

so much of the debate through these weeks seems to have been lost in supposedly "principled" positions missing the point of how parliamentary systems work both in theory and in practice
