*Snort* This is the UK, not the Netherlands. 
And I mean that as in:
Labour and Conservative = 70% of vote
Lib Dems = 28% of vote
Anyone else (ie: afforementioned far-right party) = 2% |
That's a rather naive view of the world - do you think in 1923 that the average German could have anticipated that Hitler would become chancellor just ten years later?
This is probably just something I'm sensitive about, being Jewish, but we're always on the lookout for
the next nazi party so as to nip it in the bud before we're taken by surprise like the jews of Germany were.
Sidenote: in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century, Germany was considered the centre of contempory Jewish culture and the country where Jews were most accepted and integrated into wider society. No-one would have believed that the holocaust could happen there of all places, which is why few people left even when the signs were going bad.
