One noteworthy reality about Europe’s current political leadership

- is summarised here by Phil Lawler:


> • Macron, the newly elected French president, has no children.

> • German chancellor Angela Merkel has no children.

> • British prime minister Theresa May has no children.

> • Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni has no children.

> • Holland’s Mark Rutte, has no children.

> • Sweden’s Stefan Löfven, has no children.

> • Luxembourg’s Xavier Bettel, has no children.

> • Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon - has no children.

> • Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, has no children.

> "So a grossly disproportionate number of the people making decisions about Europe’s future have no direct personal stake in that future."
