Ungoverned in Europe

So Italy too is exactly split by an electorate presumably dismayed at their Nation States inability to govern. France in the same week capitulates once again to mob rule, this time from an economically powerless group of protesters - making the sense of democratic helplessness even stronger. Can the under 26 year olds in France truly prefer unemployment to a job from which they might be fired. Germany's coalition and post-election hiatus can surely not be so quickly forgotten - even if the craven capitulation of Spains' voters and the resulting Zapatero government seem to have slid from public view. The corruption inquiry hanging over Britain's longstanding PM for selling honours hardly puts that country's once effective two party system in a good light - while the PM in waiting imitates his boss kowtowing to Nelson Mandela while promising British taxes to educate every african chile on the dark continent as if there were no squalor at home. British opposition parties are in such disarray that none yet seem fit to govern. All grist to the non-democratic EU mill.
