British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned. Days later, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated. A few days passed and both the President and Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, resigned and fled the country. Today, with their ruling governments in a state of turmoil, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi have both tendered their resignations.
The collapse of each of these national leaders is not necessarily connected; however, the global political system is reverberating with tremors directly connected to the post-pandemic economic turmoil. It would be naïve not to see these governing issues as consequences. The legitimacy of the governing class is slipping; perhaps it would be fair to say, some have ‘lost’ their legitimacy altogether.
Estonia is part of the EU and a member of NATO:
HELSINKI — Estonia’s president on Thursday asked Prime Minister Kaja Kallas to form a new government after she tendered the resignation of her one-party minority Cabinet, ending a more than month-long political stalemate in the Baltic nation.
President Alar Karis said in a tweet after meeting with Kallas that “I signed the resignation request of Prime Minister @kajakallas but also asked her to form a new government which could start working quickly and deal with all important issues of Estonian life.”
Estonia’s government crisis culminated in early June as Kallas, leader of the ruling center-right Reform Party, kicked out the left-leaning Center Party from the two-party coalition. The parties had substantial differences over spending and welfare policies amid increasing Estonian household costs because of high inflation. (more)
Italy is a member of the G7, a part of the EU and a member of NATO:
ROME — Italian Premier Mario Draghi offered to step down Thursday after a populist coalition partner refused to vote for a key bill in Parliament, but the nation’s president quickly rebuffed him, leaving one of Western Europe’s main leaders at the helm for now.
The rejection of the tendered resignation left in limbo the future of Draghi’s 17-month-old government, officially known as a national unity coalition, but with its survival sorely tested by increasingly sharp divergences within the coalition.
Draghi’s broad coalition government — which includes parties from the right, the left, the center and the populist 5-Star Movement — was designed to help Italy recover from the coronavirus pandemic. (read more)
The parliamentary coalitions are fracturing. New alliances are being formed. One recent example that stunned everyone in the EU was the far-right and far-left in the French parliament joining forces to defeat the coalition government of Emmanuel Macron as he tried, and failed, to extend emergency COVID rules.
FRANCE – It was the first bill in the new legislature, and the Assemblée Nationale has already embarrassed the government. On Tuesday night, the Assemblée rejected one of the key articles in the bill on Covid-19 aimed at extending certain measures for the fight against the pandemic.
During the debate, the coalition backing President Emmanuel Macron was outvoted several times by parts of the left-wing Nouvelle Union Populaire, Ecologique et Sociale (NUPES), the right-wing Les Républicains (LR) and the far-right Rassemblement National (RN). But the government, represented by Health Minister François Braun, adopted what was left of the bill at 1:45 am, which the help LR votes and Socialist abstentions. (more)
The COVID rules in France are set to expire on July 31st. The first parliamentary goal for President Macron was to extend the COVID emergency and keep his powers. However, the legislative effort was rejected by 219 votes to 195, destroying the goals of Macron. Both populist groups joined forces to defeat the Macron coalition.
Yes, amid all of the economic damage created by western leaders and their Build Back Better efforts, the geopolitical world is having spasms as the rulers are being rejected by the ruled.
In the parliamentary systems, the voices of the angry people are rising up. Those shouts are entering the halls of government through the direct representatives closest to the people. The ruling coalitions are no longer able to hold together as the people demand change. That is the connective tissue behind these resignations and departures.
Western government leaders like Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Boris Johnson and Jacinda Ardern have the audacity to stand atop a two-year mountain of unilateral fiats, rules, regulations and mandates and then decry “autocracy” and threats to the “global order.” All of them have destroyed their own legitimacy by pretending to represent western democracy while carrying out two years of totalitarian power.
As the AP tried to spin it:
[…] “A poll conducted last year by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that just 16% of Americans say democracy is working well or extremely well. Another 38% said it’s working only somewhat well.
Other surveys reveal how many people in the United States now doubt the media, politicians, science and even each other.
The distrust has gone so deep that even groups that seem ideologically aligned are questioning each others’ motives and intentions. (more)
We the citizens of the ‘western democracies’ are in an abusive relationship with our own governments’. The yellow vests in France, the MAGA movement in the U.S., the Australian labor unions, the Canadian Truckers and now the Dutch farmers are the precursor tremors for seismic political shifts.
They all followed the same instructions from the World Economic Forum, and western leaders have shown absolutely no desire to pull back and listen to the people. Quite the opposite is happening.
Collectively those same leaders are charging head strong into their Build Back Better agenda, regardless of what that does to the global economy. The collective sanctions placed against Russia are being felt as increased inflation by the citizens of Europe and the United States. Their “climate change’ agenda and energy policies are creating economic turmoil and now food insecurity
Inflation pressure has built up like a pressure cooker. People are growing increasingly desperate, and now the absence of food stability will change things.
The looming shortage of food could be the pressure point that fractures the tectonic political plates.

The image of rats escaping a sinking ship comes to mind.
Watch ever they go to know if the collapse is near or if this is just the next step in the reset process.
I agree with what I think you thought you said.
Autocorrect and should have been where, not ever. By the time I saw it, it was too late to edit. That was from my phone while I was on the patio enjoying coffee. I am not good typing on a phone.
No surprise Draghi’s resignation was denied. The globalists will have ensured that. The resignation was probably theatrics.
I don’t want to read about resignations. I want to read about convictions and executions.
Mr. Liberty, you have made Auntie’s Friday. Thank you.
Legitimacy lost, of particular “leaders,” does not dent the class “leaders.” Wanting to be “led” is the Paradise that will never be Lost.
These people were either used up by their handlers, or departure was always part of the preconfigured plan. Faces & names don’t represent “the people,” & they don’t represent change.
The Conservative Treehouse is 100% Trump-as-savior. Before I would ever consider voting for that guy again, I want to hear his answers to two questions: 1) would you hire Jared Kushner again? B) Do you promise to pardon Assange?
3. Will you admit that you were conned by the medical “experts” into supporting the plannedemic and the deadly “vaccines?”
Going out on a limb.
drumpf’s answers:*
(1) no
(B) yes
* AND, I will lock up old what’s her name. Too.
He should be tried for crimes against humanity for allowing Operation Warp Speed. No vote, not ever.
Germany’s Olaf Scholz’s days are numbered.
From your fingers to Allah’s eyes.
As goes Estonia, so goes Wichita Falls.
Went there for altitude chamber a few times.
The Pioneer restaurant, Wichita Falls, is one of the great places to chow-down in N. Texas.
Got my first pair of glasses there 60 years ago. Texas State Optical (TSO) advertised a lot and it was cheaper to drive 60 miles to Wichita Falls than to go to the local optometrist. Besides booze was cheaper in TX and my Dad would buy a bunch for himself and his friends, so I was part of a bootlegging operation when I was 11.
I hope that spineless bastard child of Fidel is starting to feel all kinds of squeamish.
He’s got to GO!
He’s to stupid to know that he’s despised across the country…
Hated, loathed, and despised in the USSA also by people not asleep as to the Trotskyite totalitarianism of the vile WEPH tool.
Auntie is praying that after the WEPH tool, Mario Draghi, is resigned or removed from torturing the Italian people, this major deputy of the Devil, gets Mussolinied or Shinzoed.
Either way is fine.
Some traditions are worth keeping…
The next ones will surely be better!
Are their removal so that globalist stoogies can be put int control ??
The Draghi resignation was “not accepted” by the Italian government.
And the opening scene to this act was the destruction of the Guidestones.
