In some countries, opposing political groups figure out how to reach agreements, govern, and share power.

“Sweden’s dominant centrist party reverses its position and announces willingness to work with right-wing nationalists.”
“Israel faces third election in less than a year.”
“Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne resigns after coalition collapses.”

Opponents are not seen as political rivals but as illegitimate enemies with toxic agendas and unforgivable past behaviors.
