Yes, but the choice is largely an illusion. It's a bit like reaching into a clogged toilet to pick your favourite turd.

Yeah but look at Japan. We here have got the same political party (LDP) for like 80 years, no matter what we do. Even when the LDP declared an election "loss", we still got an LDP cabinet. At least literally 90% of the time.

In Germany this isn't too dissimilar as you might think, except it's usually switching between the Union and SPD, and they often are part of the same government coalition as well.
