Very far from majority. The right-wing party got 37.58% with the turnout of 50.92%. Their main argument, repeated and nauseam, was "We will gave 125€ a month per child to everyone". It turned out partially false afterwards, but a new tradition of buying votes for money has been born.

That's how democracy works everywhere. Majority within voting part of society decides who will rule, and it's ok because non-voting part doesn't care. Also, every election is a fair of promises. This gov't at least partially fulfilled theirs, no wonder their voting base is the largest.

Literally same promise was made by Indian Prime Minister in 2014 elections, to give Rs 15,00,000 to each citizen from all the unaccounted black money stored in foreign countries by Indians. After he got elected, his party said it was just a saying, not an actual promise.

Nope, the two are not even remotely comparable.

I mean, the promise of paying money if elected; & later receding from that promise; is common in between both.
