Three, because a) it's a disgrace. b) Major parties more or less tanked this election, so in the second round it became right-wing populist vs. grumpy green party grandpa. And you have to know best how it can be with the choices you have. c) we already voted for grandpa, I will do it again, but then again, don't overestimate the power that is to be gained. We vote for a "president", but his effective power is close to none. He can delay and annoy the government and say hello to folks, much like the Queen I guess.
Yeah, I had actually hear some people claiming they wanted the right-wing populist to win the election so he didn't attempt for a position with any real power.
