we needed a generic europe thread because most countries in europe are too insignificant to deserve their own thread

for example did u know the long term spanish pm rajoy, who sucked and was bad, just got kicked out for also being corrupt as poo poo

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44327573

and italy finally stumbled into a government that sucks and is bad and will defintiely be corrupt as poo poo

Kinda curious if they have enough IMF officials to parachute into cabinet roles against the will of the people across the whole of the eurozone

One of conditions to obtain from the PNV, the right wing nationalist party, was to implement the budget negotiated with the Popular Party.There's not going to be any socialist action next year and then a new election will happen.


But at least the awful national catholic stench will dissipate a little bit.

About as long as previous Italian governments.

Sweden is having an election in september and the social democrats are collapsing because their third way leadership really, really wants to be anti-immigration which is both going against their base and propping up the other parties who hates immigrants even more.
