Possible trouble in Portugal

[NorthernRaider]

It appears the socialist left and the communists in Portugal have set aside their differences and agreed to cooperate in forming a government. In the election 3 weeks ago the right pro EU pro austerity party formed the government with a tiny percentage of the vote because no other parties could unite.

So today two left wing parties have teamed up and agreed to create a government and they have a LARGE DEMOCRATIC majority.

The Portugese president has intervened and BANNED the DEMOCRATICALLY elected parties from forming a government because they are anti EU.

There are already rumblings about big trouble if the will of the people is not respected.

And I was taught that politicians were supposed to represent the people that voted them in, I think that died out a long time ago lol!

Rather there than here, but it shows that democracy can be damned when we don't Do what the elites want.

Hopefully it will serve as a message for the rest, as well as all that globalisation and smart phones meaning we have to import the Middle East directly into Europe merkel is spouting.
