It's clear that Leivat is making a comparison between Estonia's consistent trend in not breeding new, success-at-the-polls extreme political parties as is evident in many European countries. Leivat's article doesn't touch upon the domestic political turmoil, the apparent influence that "invisible" party donators have influencing legislation and government decisions etc. This topic has received a lot of press already. But it's a fact, Estonian voters seem not to favour populistic demagogues during election campaigns promising solutions for every ill in society, at least not for the time being. That's Leivat's observation.
