California just made a huge positive step in Healthcare

Governor Jerry Brown made California the fourth state in the US on Monday to allow physician assisted dying. Yes, only the fourth, and it's disappointing that the numbers (or the lack of) overshadow the real achievement. Everyone has the right to live, and everyone should have the right to die. Of course life is sacred, but the opponents of this law must not seriously think that California's true intentions are to have a genocide. They simply just want to help those people who have no hope of a cure, and are suffering. That's it, there is no story here, Everyone is allowed to make their decisions about their life and body. If you can go and get an abortion from a professional, you should also be able to go to your doctor to die. They are there to help you and to lessen your pain. In any way possible. Of course we support that background checks must take place, and several doctors (including psychologists) should sign off before you are allowed to die. You sho...

President Le Pen?

France held the first round of it's regional elections yesterday, resulting in a historic win for Marine Le Pen's National Front. In the first electoral test since last month's attacks on Paris, Le Pen triumphed by winning in her own region, and carrying 5 other races out of 12. Next Sunday, things could change in the second round, but the odds are in the National Front's favour. Whatever the results will be, it is clear that France is now a three party system. The people of France have raised their voices, and it is clear what they want. Just like in America, the anti-establishment sentiment is fast gaining ground. After the attacks on Paris that left 130 people dead, security has become the most important topic for people. Despite President Hollande's strong and confident response, his party couldn't do better than the third place. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy's party, The Republicans, have came second in a race that is seen as a very importan...

Le Pen's triumphal day

Marine Le Pen, the popular leader of France’s far right party, Front National, has announced the formation of a new bloc in the European Parliament on Tuesday. The group, called Europe of Nations and Freedoms, will provide a bigger voice and power for the French leader, who is widely seen as the face of new politics in Europe. Together, the Eurosceptic, anti-Immigration parties will be eligible for more funding and time on the debate floor. It should certainly spice up things even more in the continent. Le Pen formed this group in last May after her party won the EU elections in France, but at the time was unable to collect enough support from other European countries. This is what has changed now. She was now able to gain more than enough support from groups such as Italy’s Lega Nord, and Geert Wilders’ Dutch Party for Freedom. She also has support from Austria, Poland, Belgium and Janice Atkinson from the UK. One notable missing party is Nigel Farage’s UKI...

Immigration is shaking up the politics of Europe

Migrant crisis in the Mediterranean. Refugees streaming in from Syria and Iraq. Eastern European workers in the Western member states. These are the forms of Immigration that are currently transforming the political landscape of the EU. The National Front is rising in France, UKIP in the UK, Jobbik in Hungary, Lega Nord in Italy and the Freedom Party in Holland. Brussels is stuck, and there doesn't seem to be a right way out of this mess for them. Every week, thousands of Africans are rescued from the Mediterranean Sea, as their little, and unsafe boats capsize and face imminent death. The Europeans are trying to rescue them out of their goodwill and human compassion, but they just generate more problems for them. Italy can't handle tens of thousands of immigrants each month, and the EU has no facilities either. These migrants are living in horrible conditions, and there is no hope for them. Similarly, thousands of illegal immigrants are trying to enter the ...
