I am writing this topic based on my own observations, which are easily verifiable (google is your friend).

I live in the EU, and it seems that the current EU is rotten to the core, we have no real democracy, and everything is about corporate power.
The right wing parties in power are not right wing anymore, because right wing would mean a free market economy, where free competition is encouraged, and monopoly is discouraged.

This is not the best example, but take farms. Before the EU, we had lots of small farms, who had their own cows, and thus milk, butter, cheese..etc production. The new EU regulations made it impossible for small farms to remain profitable, so many small farms had to close, now everything is EU regulated, and only big farms (that are able to pay for the numerous licenses) are able to survive, how is this fair to the farmers or the consumers ? Would you trust products that come from your country, your local small farms that you can see and visit, or massive corporate machines that claim to be clean and hygienic ?

Now, power corrupts, and those in power will do anything to keep their power, this is one example of such corruption.

There are numerous other industries that are clear examples of this, take flying schools. Before, they were able to give almost any kind of training (Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, ATP.. etc). Now, most of those have closed or had to limit their activity to Private Pilot training only, because of bureaucratic EU regulations.

What kind of elite is currently ruling Europe, and where the hell did they come from, and how long will it take people to see and take action ?

Is this what you are talking about? And your right corporations control everything now and that's why the world is going to hell.

I remember that movie from back in the 70's..damn good movie, and I still recommend it to young people today.

It is a corrupt world, and maybe it always has been. Once it was the royal bloodlines ruling everywhere (and many still do), and I'm sure life wasn't pretty or fair for the poor working class.

They are quick to send in Independant Overseers for elections held in corrupt 3rd world countries.

How about the same for EU, UK, US, and the other corrupt '1st' World.
