Holland
lives from European trading, with Rotterdam as European main port.
Democratically chosen parties voted for the current European economical cooperation and the treaty in 2001, and in a representative democracy politicians make decisions, not the public belly down under.
Of course, those politicians and the whole population were mislead by the Goldman Sachs fascists, they all trapped into it, as sheep have have more wool than brains.
Now-a-days however, anti-European sentiments are broad-based, also in conservative parties.
Two (more or a bit less) anti-European parties, one at the most left and one at the most right side of our multiparty parliament, make chance to get the biggest party, with the elections of 12 September.
'Europe' will be a main topic during these
national elections...
Sure,
elections...poor people, it's all a lie...and they don't know!
Yet, it will be historical elections, as the classic parties in the middle are of the infusion, in favor of the parties at the sides, which are giving voice particularly to the emotionally crashed people.
Nestor wrote:, and our poor fellow citizens, been already smashed up like potatoes under a truck, crashed emotionally under the circumstances,
Yeah, it's terrible. Poor, poor people, they, no
we suffer, slaughtered as sheep to, eh the slaughter.
And the picture of those potatoes smashed up under that truck, so terrible true and at the same time such a terrible powerful image.
Fellini would've been watering.
In the meantime, we, in our Holland, overwhelmed by heavy riots and explosions of anger by the emotionally crashed people, we patiently wait for the elections of 12 September and for the time-consuming formation negotiations following to it.
The good thing is: the anti-Islam one-man party of Geert Wilders, the possible winner at the extreme right side, is practice contaminated.
So at the left side the Socialist Party SP as a possible winner could play a central role during the negotiations, especially in the Europe debate.
If they get to get the biggest in seats they have the traditional right to liver the Prime Minister.
Like.
NB. All this talking about national politics of a small country is not really interesting on an international OT forum.
Yet, it shows that one example already is enough to explain the difference between a book by Stephen King and reality.
I'd say:
Europe is in a transition from an economical unity to a economical-political unity.
Our last civil war was WWII, so we're doing something good.
We'll need a few decades to let the process of more democracy, more control on banking, and the division between shared authority vs. national sovereignty, crystallize.
At the moment, we, the emotionally crashed potatoes and the driver of the truck, are now in a state of pulling the brake, as we want to be more of a party in the EU deals.
Interesting developments, also visible in other EU countries, isn't it?
Right, but those riots right under my sleeping-room window every evening...
It's terrible, can't sleep because of all the noise and the screaming of the emotionally crashed people outside.
Can't get the picture of those smashed potatoes out of my mind either, help.
