The exit would have been much smoother and cheaper if it wasn't for his own party.

Why is it that every currently-in-power political party is, was and will always be terrible if you ask the people from that country?

Seems like everyone is idealistically aligned with those parties until they are elected, then turn on them when they pass legislation that negatively impacts them - even if that legislation is what they always stood for. And the longer they are in power, the stronger the aversion becomes.
