I feel that PC is absolutely horrid to free speech and freedom of expression, but that's a discussion in itself. <br /><br />I feel we have divided politics no matter what their inclination is. The right, the left and the center parties can't stand those on the opposite sides, but they can't stand the others on the same side either. <br />They rather let something go to pot than acknowledge that "the other" makes a really valid point they should work with so they can make things better for everyone. <br /><br />I can't help but feel that the big corporates with their liberal agenda are the only ones benefiting from this. At least that's what I have to conclude when I see politicians (mostly liberals) taking one decision after another in favour of big corporations (the entire nuclear power issue in Belgium is a prime example, as is the glyfosate issue in the EU, to name but two) and easy money whilst throwing the regular people under the proverbial bus doing so.

A...Good article, you make some really good points.<br /><br />As you say: ""We see a constant rise in votes for the right wing spectrum of political parties.""<br />I ask myself, who really benefits from the rise of the right spectrum?<br />The far right political groups who will never be allowed to govern, because it is not pollitical correct?<br />Conservatives? They lose more and more voters to the left and right ends of the political spectrum.<br />In my opinion we have a divided right.<br />As far as I can see, the liberal political parties are benefitting most from what is happening. I believe this is a liberal driven agenda.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692877437950660825noreply@blogger.com
