Band of Bullshitters

[Pat Mustard]

I've yet to hear a coherent plan as to why not to "sink to their level" proverbially. Greece voted in a far-left ridiculous party twice who effectively sank to their level. Meanwhile, center-left parties all over Europe are getting drubbed.

What's your solution to this Captain Planet level of villainy?

Greece didn't vote in a far left party, they voted in a centre left party wedded to Keynesian economic policy who turned Bliarite third way (i.e. very right wing, but with lots of insincere hand wringing) when installed in power.

A far left government would have nationalised everything and seized the personal assets and bank accounts of the shipping magnates, killing a few pour encourager les autres.

And that's the problem with modern politics, it has swung so far right that a party that suggests using empirically tested working policy which is actually centre right (Keynes was a Liberal), gets branded as Stalinist, or worse.
