    We banned the fascist party in my country for 20 years. It accounted something like 55-60 % of the votes, back in the day.

    It didn’t work well.

        Argentina. Peronism got proscribed for ~20 years (1955-1973). It’s a lot more complicated than that cause it actually was fascist vs conservatives*.

        Ellected governments had little to no real power cause +50% of the people were not allowed to vote, so the faction that started winning power was the military. Every excuse was a good one to take down the government and bring up another dictatorship.
