Neoliberalism reigns. More and more, politics looks like a rigged system whereby members of the same political class compete for jobs, rather than for the victory of ideas, or on behalf of larger collective interests.
但很多地方意识形态差异在很大程度上已不复存在也是现实状况。社会民主党与奉行不干涉政策的保守派组成政府联合执政。新自由主义处于主导地位。政治越来越像同阶层成员争夺就业的被操纵的制度，而不是代表集体利益的思想争夺胜利的地方。
