Now that was something that really was ruinous in the long-term for Germany


Germans are always blamed for somebody's rise to fame when they travel abroad.

former communists and protesting extreme-lefts have forged a new party that not only poses serious threads to the established parties and the SPD, but could also cause by it's mere existance a general massive left-shift in policy-making, when parties in order to prevent loosing to many voters to "Die Linke" - will accept the need to act more leftist themselves. Some analysts say that not only one fourth of SPD voters, but one fourth of all voters in general could eventually make their cross in favour of "Die Linke". formed by former SED communists and the audience around extreme influential and aggressive demagogue Lafontaine, this birth of a party monster has the potential to really pick the parties in Germany apart.

that this will be most ruinous for the financial situation of the state, and reduce germany's attractiveness for educated families, middle and higher social classes, and most likely will increase brain drain and tax-refugees, while at the same time the numbers of badly or uneducated foreigners with little chances for qualified jobs and thus high demands on the social systems will go up, must not be explicitly mentioned.

This is a very, very bad day for Germany.

After the lacking substance of the G8 summit and the lack of binding obligations instead only non-binding proclamations of intentions, and after this party founding today: if eventually the EU-treaty with it's many from worse-to-worst passages will get any kind of acceptance in the next day' summit, than I would consider this month to be the politically most ruinous month for Germany I have ever witnessed in my life of 40 years.

And for German-able readers, on the many failings in the EU-treaty (since I already mentioned it anyway):
http://www.welt.de/politik/article95...tisch_ist.html

(It's a former German federal president, former judge at the highest german constitutional court, and chairman of the EU-basic rights convent commenting on this madness. Policymakers and the government in Germany avpoid him like the plague).

I'd have to agree 100%. Anything so far off base to the left or right is not good for anyone. Most of the people either on the extreme left or right are whacked in some form or fasion. As they say, somewhere in the middle is ideal.

I'll give you this Skybird - you can always travel across the pond to America. You may be a little far left yourself over here, but you'll get used to the politics this side if you care to join!

No that was the 70s. Actually the 70s was very very exiting. It would have been terrible if we hadn't also had Trudeau. But heres something you can ponder for a moment. For something like 100 days in 1970 Canada was a dictatorship.

Think about that. Thats exiting. Since Mulroney and the 80s however Canada's big political issues have been the budget, health care, and paying off that behemoth Reaganesque debt. Took the Liberals 10 years and a forceably depressed Loonie to pull it but now... hehehehehe... we have no debt.

As a matter of fact aound the beginning of the month the Parti Quebecois (the Provincial seperatist party) elected a new party leader who has taken seperatism off the table for the forseeable future until it is more popular in the poles.

When I say Canadain politics are boring I mean the country isn't about to fall apart. Though at the moment the government is in a precarious position and there might be an election soon. The Liberals, the NDP, The Conservatives, and the Bloc Quebecois (national party), all have sway in the commons. Interesting time for actual political nuts like myself, but not that dangerous so long as Harper doesn't get a majority. *crosses fingers*
