It is amazing to watch how quickly Christian Democrats and Social Democrats have forgotten their electoral promises and agreed on a program of higher taxation. One may doubt whether this will increase popular confidence in the political class, but for now, at least, the arrangement is working.
那么当分裂演变成僵局的时候，我们能够采取哪些实际的措施？方案之一是像当今德国一样组成大联合政府。基督教民主联盟(Christian Democrats)和社会民主党如此迅速地(Social Democratic party)摒弃了各自在选举中的承诺，一致通过了增税计划，这着实令人感到惊诧不已。你可以质疑这样能否提高公众对于政治的信任度，但至少从目前的情况看，这样的举措已经奏效。
