As a democrat one has to acknowledge that the ageing electorates of Germany, France and Italy are entitled to vote for political paralysis, economic decline and global irrelevance. But the inevitable eclipse of European civilisation by a brash, materialistic American or Chinese culture will be a tragedy of epic proportions.

So people vote to preserve their culture, yet have to abandon it to preserve it?
I don't understand.
Unless he's claiming that the tragedy has already happened.
