"The abrupt leaps and turnabouts of our politicians, whether minor or major figures, must be bewildering. But all the acrobatics, running back and forth, or revolving around their own axis, arise from that internal political feverishness and irritable urge to go from one extreme to another which runs over all principles, ethics, and even logic, with the sole aim of keeping afloat and hurting one's main opponent of the moment. "Dictators" turn into fierce democrats, "integrationalists" become advocates of tribal "national individualities" or the other way around, because the main goal continues to be: keep playing your political role."
Vladmir Dvorniković 1939
