Pirates Trying To Form New Icelandic Government

Of course, this still isn‘t a guarantee — and there‘s already talk of having to hold another election, but hopefully the Pirates can put together something.

Griechenland: Generalstreik gegen die Syriza-Regierung

Diese heuchlerischen Appelle an Griechenlands Kreditgeber sind völlig wertlos. Syriza hatte nur acht Monate nach ihrem Amtsantritt im Januar 2015 trotz enormer Ablehnung der Kürzungspolitik in der Bevölkerung ein drittes Sparmemorandum unterzeichnet.

Die kalkulierte Niederlage – wie Merkel dank der SPD Kanzlerin bleibt

Ob in den USA, in Frankreich oder vielen Südeuropäischen Ländern — die Entwicklung ist klar: Immer mehr Wähler haben die Politik der etablierten Parteien satt. Sie wollen kein „Weiter so“ und immer die gleichen Gesichter an der Spitze des Landes. Deshalb unterlag Hillary Clinton einem Polit-Neuling Donald Trump im US-Präsidentschaftswahlkampf, obwohl dieser keinerlei Erfahrungen für das Amt mit sich bringt.
