FWIW (I've been thinking about this lately) it seems the people in power no longer truly represent the true nature of the people in each nation.
Dozens of examples could be given, from just about all over the globe.
For it to change, we the people would have to find a way to do away with politicians and the like who bring shame and embarrassment upon their nations.
I know I have my share: the gross mishandling of the Maddie McCann case, British nationals being arrested in Algarve for playing lotto with beans
, being the "middle man" in the weapons smuggling operation to both contenders simultaneously in the Iran / Iraq war in the 80's, the list goes on.
But we know better and rise above all that.
Cheers.
