This is good, but the question is why did it take Rutte so long? Putin's nature was obvious as soon as those pictures of Grozny, now repeated in Mariuopol and today Vuhledar, emerged. No spots have changed since 2000.This is good, but the question is why did it take Rutte so long?

This is government by focus-group and in-house polling of the volatile swing voters who got him where he is (and could boot him out). Value-free, and taking the base for granted.This is government by focus-group and in-house polling of the volatile swing voters who got him where he is (and could boot him out).

When ECJ-oversight is seen as an advantage, a constitution, with normal hurdles against hasty changes, is in place, and the democratic system is modernized so that 33% of the votes no longer results in 66% of the seats in Westminster, and a substantial majority think of Europeans as "us" not "them".

Because, indeed, collective licensing does work. But also, collectively - through ALCS, or SoA/WGoGB/NUJ etc authors can and should (imo) just say no. As should publishers, but many have already done deals.Because, indeed, collective licensing does work.
