DEMOCRACY... Isn't it a wonderful thing?
I mean, trying to imagine a country where the Prime Minister is not chosen by the people of that country, but put there by the leaders of some other countries via some non-elected bureaucratic political entity... wouldn't that be outrageous? Wouldn't that be totally unrealistic and impossible to happen in the 21st Century? In Europe?
Well, think again, because this is exactly what is happening in Italy, and Greece too.
Yes, I know, Mr Berlusconi is ugly, rich, pervert, president of AC Milan, had hair transplant and take viagra, but, you know what? He was elected by the Italian people, three times. On the contrary, Monti won as many elections as me multiplied by the circumference of the all the planets in the solar system. In other words: zero, nada, niente, nothing, nichts.
Now, what is really pissing me off the most is the anti-Berlusconi brigade. They are the ones that for 17 years are shouting like lunatics: there-is-no-democracy-in-Italy, but then, when the EU (i.e. the Germans) decide the new Presidente del Consiglio, they do not object! What the hell is democracy, then? Only when their side get the trophy?
And even if we are going to leave the small detail of democracy aside, how can they, the anti-Berlusconi, accept in charge of Italy a man strongly linked with Goldman Sachs???? I am deadly sure I heard "it was all fault of the banks..."
As for Greece, the people were prevented by having a referendum by, yet again the EU commission and, instead, they are having another European bureaucrat and ex-Goldman Sachs puppet in charge of their country, Mr Papademos.
Well, as Ghandi almost said: "Democracy, that would be a very jolly good idea!"
And in my next post, be prepared for the best speech since Churchill "On the beaches"....
