Everything was decided RB> by politicians, who may have been elected, but certainly were not RB> authorized to make such radical decisions as they did over their RB> consistuency's heads.
RB> You may say "then why weren't the governments voted out?". But to vote a RB> government out, you have to have an alternative. And there was none in RB> the countries that did not allow their citizens a say in matters. Not RB> any more than there is now in Germany, where Ms. Merkel got rid of any RB> possible competition as soon as she was elected. Take your choice, the RB> devil or Beelzebub. And those most affected have no say in the matter, RB> except - as we have seen - in the UK.
RB> I don't know what makes the politicians madder: the vote fpr Brexit or RB> the fact that some of their political buddies allowed their population RB> to have a say in the matter. There's a lot of hate speech against the RB> British in political circles in Germany. And plenty of politicians RB> swearing "revenge". The population here is a good deal less angry, many RB> wishing that they had the same rights as the British gave their population.
RB> Ever hear of the AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland)? It's an up and RB> coming party that's being tarred by the "established parties" as RB> rightest. But the real reason for the invective is plain fear of RB> competition, this time from the conservative side of the political RB> spectrum. The competition from the left (leading to the party Die Linke) RB> was also tumultous, but hardly as vindictive, as Germans naturally tend RB> to prefer leftist parties - possibly in part due to their history.
RB> Anyway, we have a drift from the political center to the right and left, RB> accompanied by ever lower election participation. And the politicians, RB> instead of paying attention to the wishes and fears of their RB> constituents, simply wring their hands and continue doing what they please.
WOW! That was pretty damn much the best I have read for years.
Needless to say I'm in 100% agreement with you on everything above.
