RE: Could childless leaders be the death of Europe?
Overall, things tend to get better. But usually only after they got worse. Which makes sense if you assume some sort of cycle mechanics, ie. a complacent voter base that needs to be awakened from its sleep into which it fell after a long period of relative calm.
Except when something crosses a point of no return. Then no matter who you vote for will have the same problem on their hands that will take generations to solve. Also painful to solve. Most politicians would go populist route rather than honestly present painful cures. People would rather rob their children and grand children but would not vote for painful measures now.
