5. Why?
• I choose the topic, because it is an interest of mine.
Not only an interest, but a correlation I found
between political parties of the past and current ones.
Nobody can predict the future, but history has a
common theme of repeating itself. If you can follow
history correctly then you can come close to making
an academic prediction for yourself. I thought to
challenge myself and do something different.
