Of Machiavelli's Philosophy and Brexit

                       This is from Niccolo Machiavelli's the Prince Chapter 9 The Constitutional Principality published in 1532, "A man who becomes prince with the help of the nobles finds it more difficult to maintain his position than one who does so with the help of the people.  As prince, he finds himself surrounded by people who believe they are his equals, and because of that he cannot command or manage them the way he wants. A man who becomes Prince by favour of the people finds himself standing alone, and he is near him either no one or very not prepared to take orders.  In addition, it is impossible to satisfy the nobles honorably, without doing acts of violence to the interests of others; but this can be done as far as the people are concerned.  The people are more honest in their intentions than the nobles are, because the latter want to oppress the people, whereas they want only to not be oppressed." 
           This quote relates to modern times because technocrats such as Macron and Merkel were put into power by favour of the elites they are surrounded by people that they find hard to manage.  In France the Yellow Jacket movement is leading to massive protests.  People are stockpiling on necessisities such as food.  Macron's and his prodecessor Francis Hollande's socialist policies have increase the debt as a percentage of GDP and caused a spike in youth unemployment.  Growth has slowed and the people have had enough.   
          German prime minister Angela Merkel has stepped down as the party leader.  The economy is doing well, and the industrial sector is rebust.  No thanks to Angela Merkel's technocratic policies.  She has firm control of the European Union and she may well be the Empress of Europe.  I find it distrubing that Germany rushed to bail out Greece during the Greek debt crises in 2012 as this was an attempt to gain control over Greece.  Greece would be Germany's colony.  At the time I strongly suspected that Germany was looking to manipulate economic policy by means of bailing out indebted countries to feul their socialist policies.  I am not a socialist. 
        In the Summer of 2016 U.K voters voted to leave the European Union (EU).  I posted a video on this issue on my You Tube Channel called The Inquiring Humanist.  Since that vote took place Theresa May has failled to negotiate a fair deal for the U.K.  I strongly suspect that this is the result of technocrats and central banksters holding onto power.  This would be the European Central Bank (ECB).  Currently, European Union regulations make up 50% of U.K's laws.  Also, she has not yet come up with the solution for the Northern Irish border as it has always been open to being crossed freely.  She has not offered solace to Scotland which is opposed to leaving the customs union.  Theresa May wants to leave the customs union.  This would free up the U.K to negotiate trade deals with other countries around the world.  Especially, developing countries in Africa, South Americs, and Asia.  The U.K could retain London's position as a financial powerhouse by making loans to developing countries, and this could happen in concert with China's One Belt One Road Policy.
