If the population of a country is living under these circumstances they dont have a clear reasoning and just want an out. Because of this, they will fall under any "leader" that sells what they are looking for: economic stability.

A "leader" is not necessarily the correct leader or a good leader, in fact, a leader is the one that can make masses follow her or him because of its charisma, facility with words plus other skills, but it doesn't mean it leads the right way. so a country that lost fate, that is under stress and despair will elect a leader that can promise them that fate that they need.
