In a Democracy, the real rulers are the dexterous manipulators of votes, with their placemen, the mechanics who so skillfully operate the hidden springs which move the puppets in the arena of democratic elections. Men of this kind are ever ready with loud speeches lauding equality; in reality, they rule the people as any despot or military dictator might rule it.

I smile back but realise he can't see it, because I'm wearing an antiseptic muzzles to protect me from his breath.

But ere the circle homeward hies Far, far must it remove: White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love.

The CDU, the great party of the center, is back. It is the biggest party in parliament. We will make what we can of this great result.
We will have to embark on a change so radical, a revolution so quiet and yet so total, that it will go far beyond the programme for a parliament
