Looks like the Spanish government is on the point of collapsing under the weight of an infestation of corruption at all levels. Could be the Socialists just walk in and take over.
That's the Spanish government ousted then. The Socialists step in immediately. I've seen leaders have to step down due to corruption before, but never the whole party, the whole government.
What's the feeling on how the Socialists are going to do? I know some people have gotten all excited about the prospect of them governing, but are they likely to be more of the same?
Half the country is delighted. The other half is confused. But it was absolutely necessary to get the government out. Totally useless and absolutely corrupt. The president of Madrid was caught on video shoplifting ffs, and had lied about her university qualifications (she didn't have any).
Did the police overstep the line? Yes. Was this a good form of policing? No. Do the police help protect us? Yes. Did this form of policing do any good whatsoever? No. Shall we still have some faith in the police? Yes. Is it encouraging to have companies care about morals? Yes.
Seems Italy is lost now.
And guess who's cheerleading the far right populists from the sidelines. It's our favourite billionaire Bannon. Yes, the same Bannon behind Cambridge Analytica; the company which played a pivotal role behind instigating Brexit. There's a pattern emerging here...
Liberal democracy is under attack from the powers that be in the east (Putin's Russia) and the West (Trumpian America) and has caught the EU sleeping and off guard. A cultural war is being waged against our democracy and the liberals are only just waking up and starting to realise it.
Are the attacks coordinated? Who knows. Meanwhile the unholy new right coalition is chipping away at the EU where it can one nation at a time. And it's working.....

I am calm.
The fact Bannon is involved in both cases is to me more than just mere coincedince. If people value their democracy they should be as wary as I am....
