European Election Results

If ever there was a need for an EER check well, now is the time. All over Europe the extreme right is the big winner. In France Lepen and her band of merry fascists was the all out winner taking a quarter of the popular vote. In fact anywhere you hear the term Euroskeptic you can replace it with fascist. So why the rise in fascism, I mean what's up with that? Here in my home country of Greece the Communists won the election taking a quarter of the vote. They do not call themselves the communists but rather the left coalition. In the same way the wobblies or the NDP in Canada all became watered down versions of their former selves. We do have an official Communist party in Greece that struggles to remain at the five percent level. Gets a little confusing here. Tsipras is the leader of the left party and is also the European hard left coalition candidate. I can boil down the present European outlook to this: extreme rightist parties wanting to strengthen national boundaries or even dissolve the union alltogether, center right parties wanting to continue austerity measures and deindustrialization of the south, center left parties still searching for a spine or any kind of hard tissue at all, hard left parties proposing a Marshall plan for the south. Europe lacks many things these days. There is no clear foreign policy and so far policy has been banged out by Germany alone. There is no bill of rights and many times smaller nations constitutions are suspended in favor of European central bank policy. There is no constitution or central control of any kind or policy or anything. Brussels is without a road map and simply does the bidding of the most powerful member. There can be no happy end in a story whose central character lacks vision and has no moral backbone. Where everything is up for sale and the powerful get to pimp the weak without any restraint. In our little country with our suspended constitution they have achieved some amazing results. One million people are without medical insurance, two million people are without work, hospitals, schools, all public buildings are being closed and put up for sale. Nationalists gain in the polls as our country is slowly being annexed by Germany and this faceless European federalist monster. The extreme left too is on the rise with a solution for the hundreds of thousands of families facing homelessness and starvation. Merkel and her band of merry subhumans have brought us here. Where do we go from here nobobdy knows but it will be a tough journey with many pitfalls in the way... possibly the oddest of oddities is the election of Foondoolis father to the European parliament see: http://ellinomangia.blogspot.gr/2013/12/high-rollers-foondoolis-capellonis.html
