The lack of run-up time to plan and fund a coup attempt by the wealthy is refreshing.

Right? One politician concedes, apologizes because they were unable to show merit to continue, respect the decision of the people. The new one thanks the former one and vows to take it forward.

Instead of, say, having the former one denying they lost, accusing the new one of rigging the process, and refusing to ever concede or go there to ceremoniously transfer the power. Nah. This behavior would be so low, childish that no serious country, no serious person, no mature adult would ever to that.
