If it were that easy we would have done it by now.

UK prioritises stability over representation. EU nations are more 
representative, but volatile.

Or are they?

Germany's disastrous state of its energy infrastructure now is the 
direct result of Merkel going into coalition with a Green minority 
party. Plant windmills and kill off nuclear to placate the Greens, but 
import Russian gas and East German lignite to do the heavy lifting.


The UKs election is a classic example of 'we want these fuckers out, and 
we don't actually care who gets in: They can't be any worse'

Of course, they will be...

So we will have to kick *this* lot out next time
