It is also what you get when people vote left, and the reaction of the rest of the EU is to punish the whole country by imposing upon them even worse creditor conditions, lest people in other countries get funny ideas and a Conservative government gets put in check. Greeks have turned into this direction because the alternative got shot dead, and the people who had hope for it no longer have any.
Increasing working hours means reducing the efficiency of the economy.
Hmm, I wonder what do the crowd that’s constantly preaching about the sanctity of life ever since conception think about this. Wait, what? They don’t like condoms either? Well, ok…
The Youtube comments sections of documentaries of rent poverty in Spain usually get filled with landlords complaining about how the government is taxing them to death, and how relieving them of such taxes would be the solution. Somehow they consistently get plenty of upvotes.
Bitch, if you were being taxed to death you would rush to try and sell those homes, and THAT’S what I want to see happen.
Not “an”. Plural.
Seeking criminal charges for a democratically elected representative voting in favor of their alleged agenda sounds more fascist than conservative to me. Must be the evolution of language.
But a last-minute change of heart by Austria’s Green climate minister, whose vote is credited with saving the proposal, led to fury in Vienna, with the party of the chancellor, Karl Nehammer, announcing it would seek criminal charges against her for alleged abuse of power.
The fuck?
Ah, yes, I had forgotten I should have invested when my rent was 100€ higher than my income.
Like, I mean, it is good advice for some people at the individual level. Specifically, those who can afford it. But an issue of this magnitude requires political, collective solutions.
Spain does actually have a growing issue with water scarcity, so this should absolutely be on the table.
Apparently, France has historically dragged their feet when it comes to letting the Iberian peninsula connect their grid to the rest of Europe.
Which is an absolute shame, because the region should be a gigantic asset to Europe’s renewable energy supply.

Wow, thanks a lot for the extremely detailed response. I suggest you copy it to a txt file at some point in case you get the chance to post it again somewhere else, because it almost feels like a waste that not much more people will pass through the thread.
What’s the front’s position on Palestine-Israel? And taxes?
You’ll soon be in the top 5% if you have a keyboard app installed on your phone
…Those won’t go away, right? People aren’t going to start talking on the bus for their phones to auto-type the text messages they want to send through chat, right…?
And it pays for public pensions. I see that as an absolute win. If there’s going to be exploitation of the working class, at least let it be to care for old bums.
The parties consistently voting in favor of green policies were Greens, Left and Socialdemocrats, with Liberals and independents varying wildly. Some decarbonization goals are still in place, but the new equilibrium may vote to revoke some of them and the actual laws to enforce them for good will likely not be passed.
The 8 groups of colors you see on the graph are actually dozens and dozens of parties who group themselves into more compact coalitions depending on their broad ideology. This is actually no issue to get shit done and pass plenty of legislation.
What we actually don’t like is that the far right groups (Conservatives and Reformists, and Identity and Democracy, and a third secret option) are growing even a little bit more, which increases the possibility of them actually passing the laws they want.
Did Melenchon’s candidacy crumble? Is there any clear party leading among the left right now? Is it possible Macron won’t make it to the second round?
The growth of the far right isn’t that terrible on a vacuum, since it’s just a small growth anyway. The real bad news is this:
This is, traditional conservative parties starting to talk about cooperation with the far right, rather than with centrists. If you thought far right euroskeptics were cringe, just you wait to see the far right that wants to remodel the EU to their taste - and are capable of passing reforms.

The Central European Bank is governed by the EU. During their debt restructuring negotiations from around a decade ago, Greece’s government negotiated with the other EU governments, not with private banks.
