he majority of the voting public in developed countries is left-leaning.

I don't think gerrymandering alone can account for most EU countries swerving to the right these last few years. Just yesterday Portugal got a center-left and a fascist to the second round for the presidentials. Looking at 3^rd^, 4^th^, 5^th^... yeah there's gonna be one more EU fascist president.

well, you're right, there definitely is a growing trend too - but I put that down more to media manipulation of public opinion, than general idiocy spreading more than usual
