Wow, that must be a first in history. I'm not in tune with Portuguese politics at all, but the far-right candidate must be real bad to cause this to happen.

Well, I'd say it depends on how you rate a candidate "bad".

IMHO, people here are just afraid of voting on what they consider an extremist.

The problem is that they will (keep) voting on the far left. So no change here to be seen. People just like getting screwed over and over.

Pretty simple. Right wing = bad. Extreme right wing = extremely bad.
