Perhaps it's me, but I think democracies as we know facing facing a challenge.
Due to the mix-up well orchestrated between democracy and free-market, which is free just by the name, the populations that lost their future don't believe any more in the "elites" who just, whatever the label, delivered the same soup.
In all countries submerged by unemployment and raising poverty, it looks like the most urgent thing to do for politicians is the cancell the taxes for the rich, in hoping, hope always denied, they will invest. The myth of the "jobs' creators" is dead.
So the temptation for a Right Wing party is now open.
Due to some efforts of banalisation of Extreme Right ideologies in the EU Assembly and the acceptance of their ideology, EU encouraged by anti-communism these ideologies to re-born unchecked.
The Canonisation of a Nazi war Criminal sympathiser Stepinac by the vatican is only one of the aspect.
The blind eye policy on the development of Catholic Church initiated extreme-right policy in Poland, the political obsession to dismantle social protection and national identities in order to promote fear of tomorrow and communitarianism by the EU is back-firing.
The poors and distituted are back in the political game. They still abstain, and when they don't, they vote for the political/human cocktail Molotov.
They don't care of morality. They don't care of good manners. As in Medieval Total War, their war cry would be "fear us".
I can see that in France.
It is growing, and in ignoring massive protests against some laws in forcing the vote in the Parliament, as they did for the European Treaty in the throat of the electorate who just voted against, the successive French Governments (as EU) showed democracy existed only when it suits the "perfumed", the "elites".
