RobbieD_PL;2587758 said:PS: Linking to that and again from Sicko, there was a comment from American ex-pats living in France which Moore interviewed that I found interesting. Apparently it went along the lines of "In Europe, the governments are afraid of the people, whereas in America, the people are afraid of the government." Is this true to any/some extent?
I would say :
In every European countries, Governments are affraid of the people, but in Europe people are affraid by the European federal power.
I could imagine that it could be explained both for Europe and America by the system of election.
Direct = more power to the people
Undirect= more power to the politicians
