I really like Schaeuble tho. He's such an honest man when it comes to his disdain of democracy and popular power, it's a refreshing change from the the social-democratic face of his fellow political class.

I like how Shitwolf had to step down because of blatant corruption and Merkel immediately put him high up in her cabinet. Really shows what stands for moral character in the German political scene.

I don't get why the French people complain about their government, don't they know that Hollande has been named "statesman of the year" by a bunch of New Yorkers? That puts him hot on the heels of UK Prime Minister David Cameron (SOTY 2015) and Canadian PM Stephen Harper (SOTY 2012), as well as his predecessor Sarkozy (SOTY 2008).Kassad posted:This one is better: Not the right finger to be raising, IMO.

I was in part exaggerating, but the whole thing just stinks of the executive being allowed to blackmail the legislative. There's only so much procedure you can go through to pass legislation before its democratic legitimacy becomes unclear.

Most European (and I believe even Greece?) democratic systems incorporate the ability for the government to say "if we can't pass this piece of legislation we are not able to continue in our jobs" The fact that the legislators would be risking their jobs if they actually stopped this law only underscores the fact that the majority of voters do not support their position.

The vast majority of the French want fewer labor protections? Well, why didn't they say so? We can have a couple expeditionary forces of Marines in by a week from today to begin turning them into slave laborers. I am sure that they will herald this rescue from the tyranny of vacation times.

Resignation? That's not an "ability incorporated into democratic systems". That's just quitting the job. And anyway, we're at the point in Western democracies where our elected representatives rarely if ever actually represent the interests of the people who voted for them, nevermind the majority. That's the whole reason why we're in a crisis. So one appreciates comments like Schaeuble's where the divide between the people and their rulers is made crystal clear, for that finally allows for the people to realise that no, their interests will not be represented no matter how they vote. Which is great if you happen to be a Marxist!

No, it underscores that the French government is really unpopular. Close to three quarters of Frenchmen are opposed to the law.

Stalinesque moustache, the only newspaper you could buy in French kiosks yesterday was the communist one.
