Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.
Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have βvotedβ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?
That consensus began to collapse with the culture wars and has only been supercharged with the consolidation of the media market

Of course, this did not always live up to the ideal, but I do think there was a cultural consensus
