German elections in several states this year and domestic policies may play one role here. But that is no excuse, but only illustrates to what degree poltical parties now are willing to sacrifice all and everything ofr their own desire to claim power - no matter the cost.
Since long I think that political parties are one of the tombstone of parliamentary democracies. Members of parliament should be forbidden to organise in any form of political associations, clubs, parties or the the like. It necessarily and inevitably turns any democracy into a lobby-driven oligarchy and party-dictatorship. Already Aristoteles pointed at that direction. When thinking about Europe's decision-forming mechanisms and powerfactions and slogans today, i just think three letters that are like a deja vu to what we have today: "GDR". |
Can you explain why you have a problem about Germany not joining the show.
