Romania (its administration) has proved many times that it cannot think by itself, it just fallows others, with the mentality if others say so who are we to say otherwise.

Trinity College had a strategic goal to stay the same size as they were for undergrads, and increase postgraduate intake. When this funding model was introduced, they then had to increase UG numbers or lose loads of money (as the amount allocated was fixed, and other universities were expanding).
I think its a more general problem though, politicians are hesitant to try anything new as they can be blamed, which leads them to copy solutions that appear to be used elsewhere, as they can then blame the other country.
You seem to think otherwise.
Name five countries where the current political leaders can do a better job running your life than you can. In how many cases could all of their predecessors over the past 50 years have done a better job than you?
There are lots of countries and lots of political leaders over time, and I've yet to find more than a small minority who I'd trust to walk my dog, let alone run my life. (And yes, the same applies to other types of leaders, but that's not particularly relevant because reducing the powers of political leaders doesn't give other leaders power. Ford can't make me buy.)
