Brexit and authoritarianism

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (Robert)]

I'd argue that Brexit was more than half the issue.  If the UK had still
allowed European immigration, it would be in a lot better shape than it is
now.

And, w.r.t. the political parties: it seems like they are just as a bad as
the United States and Canada and probably some other countries with their,
essentially, two-party system that never let things move forward.

I think it's no wonder that people gravitate towards authoritarian leaders
or even support coup d'etats just to break out of the endless cycle.  A
very sad reflection on humanity, I'd say.  😔
