El peligro que amenaza a España no es tanto la ruptura de su unidad como el desmantelamiento a la vez de su Estado, vendido por partes a los diversos grupos de presión nacionalistas, y la destrucción de los cimientos de su cultura política democrática.

“Tres trampas tres”, mi lectura de las elecciones en @TheObjective_es: tres callejones sin salida aparente para el PP de Feijóo, el votante progresista y hasta el propio Sánchez.

Hay militantes socialistas como Nicolás Redondo que piden hoy un pacto entre PSOE y PP para gobernar. Reproduzco en abierto el artículo que publique ayer en ABC con las razones que justificarían este acuerdo para evitar la dependencia de Puigdemont.

A lot to learn from Singapore talent recruiting (scholarships with a duty to serve, fast tracking, etc).

"Cover your ass (CYA)" incentives are, in my experience, the biggest obstacles to policy implementation
A very sad, example: drug approvals.

Re @ProfPaulPoast My favourite anecdote: Fermi asking for permission to Arthur Compton to run the reaction in the middle of the city, Compton deciding not to ask President Hutchins bacause "the only answer he could give is no, and that would've been wrong".

A request to foreign correspondents in Spain: please read Muñoz Molina's Francoland, or alternatively spend 5 minutes in Chueca, before writing your Franco/Bullfight/Siesta/ regurgitation of topics about Spain ahead of tomorrow's election.

Re @joachim_voth The brutally injust fiscal regime of the Basque country (e.g. pensions go up in all Spain, paid by all Spaniards except Basques) is only (barely) feasible because the Basque country has 2.5 mill people (versus 7.5 mill in Spain).

Good that he’s locked up. Russia didn’t arrest him for his role in the shooting down of a civilian flight (MH-17) or war crimes as their proxy commander in 2014. But pointing out flaws in the war and making a band of misfits to do it? He’s done. Kremlin wants no more critiques./

No solo la política per se, sino también su diseño, presentan graves carencias que la convierten en ejemplo perfecto de cómo no utilizar el dinero público.

Me avergüenza que el gobierno de mi país ponga todas las instituciones (hoy RTVE, ayer el CIS, anteayer Correos) al servicio de un partido. Esto no sucede en ninguna democracia avanzada. Es fácil imaginar el siguiente paso si los votantes condonan este comportamiento.
