In Italy the elitists lost their referendum and now Italy will probably exit the Euro currency which is the equivalent of leaving the Euro.
Suffocated by an extra, powerful  and unelected level of Govt bureaucracy , who wouldn't vote otherwise.

Meanwhile, in Canada we demonstrated yet again in 2015 just how broken and sclerotic our model of so called democracy really is.

Get this.

Over 60% rejected the LPC and another 30% refused to hold their nose and vote at all.
Yet the 40% who voted LPC are now imposing their hegemonic policies on all Canadians .

Not only hegemonic but discriminatory to all provinces outside Central Canadian from whence is the Provenance of their electoral power.

Even worse, incompetent on a scale never before seen .

Yet we must wait another 3 years of such oligarchic hegemony before we can turf these pretenders to democracy out on their harses.
Depressing indeed.
