EU disconnects even more from reality

This is what happens when a people disconnects from their government. Decades of saying that the government doesn't represent the people has made the people apathetic and politicians bold.

Where are the protests? Where are the demonstrations? Complaining about it to a bunch of foreigners on this forum isn't going to force the changes you seek.

Like a local pol of ours said recently: “I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going. Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.”

Now I didn't agree with his cause but you can't ignore his fervor.
