Back to normalcy.
ReplyDeleteNext year elections in France and Germany. Prepare yourself for the end of the EU as we know it.
ReplyDeleteIf I was French, I would vote for her. My turning point probably came with Syriza in Greece and even Bernie was a disappointment. No matter what one can say about them (Le Pen, Farage, Trump) or blame them for, they really help the cause. If It wasn't for Farage, Brexit would have never happened. I don't agree with them on many topics but hey, we don't live in a perfect world. How else would you imagine a revolt? Congress adopting MMT and full employment? Koch Brothers saying they were wrong and they are sorry?
