Not at all unlike what happened in Greece during the crisis. The erstwhile socialist (Green) component of the unholy union still hasn't recovered from the subsequent decline. The people voted Red, the rats escaping the aforementioned socialist party boarded the Red ship (some would say Pink, as it's "softcore" Left), corrupted it from within and the EU finished the job by hammering the left-wing government into submission. Unfortunately, this led us back to the Blue conservative component which has been essentially playing without an opponent for five years now. I hope you're more lucky than us.
