I think it's a sad thing that the parties, rather than thinking about which system is best for the country, always think first of all about which system is best for them at a particular time.

I find people who are completely prepared for history rather suspect. They have a lot in common with the communists, who so arrogantly believe they have completely understood the world and therefore know perfectly how everything should be. And then, when everything turns out o be slightly different, they try to squeeze the world to fit their notion of it.
