In the EU, no risk is ever tolerated. They keep creating laws to regulate things, but do they ever measure the actual impact? With so many regulations, it must be hard to move freely. There should also be a system for repealing regulations.
With time this is worsening, the caste is ever bigger, and the system will not change until a WW2 type situation.
It is not like it was safe democracy. But, it is still one and one that cares more about own citizens then the rest. Maybe except Canada.
