Europe in 2013 will continue to need the pressure from the crisis in order to find a way to overcome it once and for all. Regardless of electoral outcomes in important EU member states, Europeans will remain unable to expect much from their political leaders, because opposition forces generally have little more to offer than the incumbents do.
2013年的欧洲将继续需要来自危机的压力以寻找一劳永逸克服危机的办法。不管欧盟重要成员国的大选结果如何，欧洲人都不用期待政治领导人能给他们带来什么，因为反对派的能量总比在任者强一些。我们还是祈祷欧洲能迎来成功的一年吧，但这个愿望看来相当蠢。
