#2 How many governments have the left lost in the past year? Ireland, Canada, New South Wales in Australia, the local elections in Spain, Catalonia in Spain (semi-autonomous region), Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia, Lithuania. Sweden re-elected a center-right government. The EU Parliament moved to the right.

The "progressives" are in global retreat. As the lose office, they lose influence and they lose money.

#7 It doesn't matter which bunch of seat warmers gets in, Portugal is now simply a vassal state of the IMF and the ECB, who will be running the show. The indentured servants will only have one function, namely to line up and donate their pound of flesh as required.
To think that Dominique could now be Czar of Portugal, if only he could have kept his grubby hands off that maid in New York. And who knows he may have been able to institute Droit du seigneur as a fringe benefit.
