People are generally more negative about their current situation than alternative ones — 'the grass is always greener on the other side' fallacy!
People tend to forget some aspects of history and are quick to say 'things would be better if we hadn't...' or 'things would be better if we...'. That's why in some electoral systems people get fed up with a party, vote for another party, and find that one is even worse! On the other hand, sometimes people are resistant to change so, staying with the party example, they continually support the same party not helping them or they just become apathetic about their country's politic. Nevertheless, Poland's current government is not so great; which leads me to the question of why they elected it or do not elect a different one.
