One question, what if, in that time that the conservatives die out, another horrible party shows up?

I am talking about Europe. Right wing populist parties are getting larger and larger here. In Germany, the "alternative for Germany" (AfD), which sounds harmless but it's a soft core nazi party that wants the German Mark back, wants to kick out immigrants (the whole shebang) got loads of votes last election.

They took out the Pirates (net neutrality and privacy) and attracted many voters from the left party (Die Linke), which is scary to think about.

The same is happening in Greece, Italy, France, Hungary... (Not to forget israel, but that's another story)

Germany and Italy... better hope Franco doesn't follow up too.

I'm pretty worried about Europe, to be honest. It looks to me like the Eurozone is going to tear itself apart and it's not going to be bloodless.
