Christmas choir closes year with loud moaning
Thousands of Germans from all over the country have gathered together hand in hand to form a massive human chain and close out the year by loudly moaning and groaning about how victimized, underrepresented and politically powerless they are. I mean figuratively speaking, of course.
That the country is currently enjoying a remarkable and completely unexpected economic boom, that unemployment is at its lowest level in over fifteen years and still dropping, that the Reformchen (little reforms) undertaken by the current coalition government, though meager, are already bearing fruit everywhere, none of this was represented anywhere in the survey. Or by any of the questions being asked, I should say.
The native on the street doesn’t like to hear questions like those being asked. They always leave him with the sneaking suspicion that he might not be as powerless as he thinks he is and, heaven forbid, free to take his life into your own hands as he chooses – and votes.
Singen können wir.

These results are probably the worst in the western world. We would need a system with a more authoritarian approach. It would fit better into our mentality, the people are fed up with politicians who constantly have to lie before general elections to win them. A powerful president elected by the people would be a good step forward here.
But there won´t be any soft change of course, just like there never was any in the past. The established parties will continue to govern like they do today for as long as possible, since they are the only ones who have "a political say". And who is willing to reduce his own source of power? (Comment this)
"I do not understand why the German people do not just kick all these idiots, Marxists, and left wing dumb asses out!"
They are not kicked out because these "dumb asses" are in power :) (Comment this)
