European coalition politics and dysfunctional right-wing parties which often make it impossible to form a government continue to cripple any meaningful European response to the crisis.

America’s strong executive branch and two-party system have their pitfalls, but they also make it possible for someone like Trump (or, vice versa Obama) to be elected and have free reign to make significant changes over the course of four years. That’s difficult to accomplish in Europe where governments rise and fall, and can be brought down through coalition and internal party backstabbing. If Trump had won an election in Europe, he would have likely lasted six months before being brought down in a palace coup. Most likely though, like Geert Wilders, he would never have even been allowed to take office and make any changes in the first place.

Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu, who survived multiple rounds of elections and coalition failures to become one of the country’s longest serving prime ministers, shows that it is possible to remain in office, but at the cost of constant political maneuverings and compromises with coalition members that make it difficult to make any meaningful changes in the country.

Parliamentary governments are meant to be fragile by design, but that weakness has not made Europe more democratic, rather it has turned over control of countries to unelected officials, lifetime bureaucrats running ‘caretaker’ governments while the parties squabble, NGOs, activist groups whose externally funded street riots can topple government and the European Union.

And all of that may make it impossible for Europe to vote its way out of the Islamization crisis.

European voters have been slowly moving to the right as the pace of Islamic terrorism continues to pick up. But the rising number of terrorist attacks is only a symptom of the growing Islamization. The same demographic processes that gifted Germany with 3 terrorist attacks in 3 months and Austria with two terrorist plots in two weeks also raises the power of Muslim voters.

After Geert Wilders called for “no more Morrocans”, the Netherlands compromise ruling coalition, from which he was excluded, included a Moroccan immigrant.

There are two arrows trending upward in Europe. One is growing voter awareness while the other is rising Muslim demographics. The race between those two arrows may determine whether Europe, formerly the cradle of Western civilization, has a future.

Islamic terrorism serves the same function in Europe as it does across the Middle East. The twin alternatives of Islamization by ‘choice’ or by force. Much of Europe’s elite political class has chosen Islamization by choice. Islamization by force is a reminder that choice doesn’t enter into it.

In the UK, a man burned a Koran in front of the Turkish consulate.in London. A Muslim man attacked him with a knife. The authorities arrested both. They released the stabber on bail while the Koran burner was kept locked up on charges of “intent to cause against the religious institution of Islam.”

That and the coverup of countless girls raped by Muslim sex grooming gangs is what Islamization by choice looks like.

Current numbers appear to show a lead for Nigel Farage’s Reform party, ahead of the mainline parties, for the first time, but Farage has also made it clear that he’s no longer opposed to Islamization. Reform has received sizable funds from Muslim millionaire Zia Yusuf.

UK voters may want a change, but much like voters across Europe, there is no easy way for the country that once prided itself on democracy to vote its way out of an impending theocracy.

Voters may be ready, but politicians aren’t.
