> The EU has to follow similar actions but that requires voters to not choose right wing populism or the same old party they voted for 20 years straight Yeah, but it seems like voters tend to vote for the same party so long that it kind of kills the competition (if I know that I'll be re-elected no matter what, why behave?), and then suddenly voters get pissed because they don't get ... something, whatever, not sure they know themselves ... and vote for populists. But every now and then the times are just right that some competent government is elected that implements some well thought-through laws, that have sufficient positive effects over decades to compensate for all that. At least until now.
