It’s kind of like the 80-20 rule

Only different.

Whereas with the 80-20 Rule (aka Pareto Principle) 80% of a company’s revenue is generated by 20% of its customers, when it comes to German elections, 80% of voters are very conservative regarding certain issues (“irregular” migration, for instance) but are ruled by 20% of those who aren’t.

This European City Was Just Named the No. 1 Solo Travel Destination in the World — and It Has Affordable Hotels and Food – Berlin came in at the top, followed by Vancouver.
