> you have an awful lot of them in the European Parliament.

We're working on it. The last batch of elections was pretty scary but so far so good. If WWII wasn't enough to teach the world a lasting lesson you have to wonder how bad it would have to get before we will. Quite possibly it can not be done and we will occasionally revert to type.

The scary thing is that WWII is quickly passing out of living memory. In the next 20 years, there will start to be a critical mass of voters who have never MET anyone who was an adult in WWII.

I suspect this is a large driver behind what we are seeing today.
