2018: Trump will face impeachment before the year's end
Kaliňák keeps 1990s hair, Smer appoints his barber to the Constitutional Court. Here are some predictions about the coming year.
Parties only protect their market share
Rent seeking behavior and a code of loyalty are not the ways to operate a successful democratic political party.
What kind of European are you?
If you live in Central and Eastern Europe, chances are high you belong to the "hesitant" tribe.
My five-year-old daughter will almost certainly encounter a Weinstein too

Smoking caused 7 million deaths last year. That means cigarettes kill people at a rate about twice as fast as the First World War.
Kotleba should be defeated in election, not banned
More constitutional can be less democratic, and it is not clear that it always has the intended result. Perhaps the clearest historical case came with the rise of the Nazis in Germany.
