An Interesting article in Wed Australian by Janet Albrechten that we could perhaps draw parallels with what is happening here in Australia.
It would seem that EU citizens are voting with their feet, because they are increasingly P..sed off with being "ruled by the regulator".
In Europe, much the same as here, Bureaucrats are circumventing the "Law" and ruling by regulation, in much the same manner as a dictator rules by decree.
When people start to realize that democratic processes are being bastardized by unelected bureaucrats the seeds are sown for revolution.
Not perhaps a "roll out the tumbrils" type revolution, although there are many here who would take up knitting if the Skull or Wodger were in the tumbril, but there have been calls for civil disobedience on these forums and as Aviation as a rule is terribly conservative there must something seriously wrong for anyone to suggest such a thing.
So perhaps our political masters should take heed of what has happened in Europe, push us too far and maybe Clive might end up PM.
