And some, like you, dream on, whereas others see the realities.

Why not take the EU as an example? When were the people affected actually asked for their opinion, except in a tiny minority of cases?

You DO love to assign "blame", don't you? Without any idea of what really would happen if the populations affected were actually asked for their opinions.

RM> YOU can decide WHO you vote for.
Sure. And like in Austria, we can vote for for the devil or the deep blue sea.

Go right ahead. Don't let me stop you ;-)

To be replaced by anothetr lying politician who does the same thing.

RM> Thank you for your very valuable oppinion.
You're welcome, even if you yourself are so blind you don't see the realities.
RM> Still most western countries are democracies.
Some very smart person once remarked that elections alone don't make a "democracy". They have elections in North Korea, too. And in South Sudan.
