And To Further Prove My Paper's Point

Europeans Are Looking For a "New" Kind of Leader.

At each protest there is a different language, different details - but the same emotions.

Anger that politicians failed to see the financial crisis coming and failed to prevent it.

All the people I talk to perched on their tractors, waving their banners - done out in fancy dress that makes one point or another - are looking to their governments for solutions.

They expect men and women wiser than themselves to come up with answers, but feel those on offer are not up to the job.

They mourn the fact that there is no leader with a map, a compass and a purpose, who can offer some hope that there is a way out of the swamp.

Feels like 1930 all over again.

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists, and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout, “save us!”…

- Alan Moore, Watchmen #01, 1986

The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built.

- Adolf Hitler, Proclamation to the German Nation, February 1, 1933
