It is not really a party — it's a nomination list by the protest-organising students — and the people really voted against the ruling party.

The idea is for this to enable true democracy to re-appear, and then actual parties would battle it out in the next elections.

I'd say the risk to political stability in Serbia remains, but just like in any functioning democracy, what matters is that there is regular change and politicians understand that they are soon to be replaced (this avoids the levels of corruption that is multiples of base government project costs and actually cost lives).

I hope that everyone reads your comment. This is how far-gone it was in Serbia, and now there is hope of recovery. This is not some USA left/right party discourse, this is recovery from pure corruption. This is what happened in Hungary, where after years of "far-right"[0] control, a center-right party took over with just the promise of competency and far less foreign influence, and everyone cheered.

[0] What ever the hell that means these days, pure kleptocracy that sells xenophobia but is funded by Russia and China?
