Summary
We are in a quickening cycle of elections—but how much do they decide, or should they decide? Focusing on the Knesset elections and the midterm Congressional elections in the United States, we examine the price and value of democracy today. We also look to upcoming elections in the three largest democracies in western Europe—Germany, France, and Italy—now likely to be some time next summer. What can they deliver in terms of peace and prosperity? Impasse in Europe and the Middle East regions threatens chaos, which already grips parts of Africa, Sudan, and Ethiopia. We need clear diagnoses before we can find remedies and perhaps even cures. There are ways forward. A lot to cover, but the rolling conversation continues—and IT IS NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM.
