  6. "we must undermine democracy to prevent a democratic outcome to protect democracy"……. did every Journalist and far-leftist forget the very very Liberal concept of "those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable".

  16. hey ! "mac-roon" that`s why they call it democracy ! the people are voting ! government is not just for the rich, elitist, & liberals !

  17. What's feeding the Right-wing takeover of European Governments? Migrant Crisis! Most migrants are not asylum seekers – they're economic migrants aspiring to settle in countries with free hand-outs! Just stop the migrant housing and financing for arriving migrants and they won't come and the ones there will leave. Then the right -wing parties will fizzle away. FIX THE MIGRANT CRISIS!
