Shillowness und Ignoranz waren unser Los in den von uns bewohnten Massenkonsumgesellschaften, in denen wir zu abgelenkt waren, um politisch zu handeln, abgesehen von der periodischen Absetzung politischer Eliten, um Entscheidungen über Leben und Tod in unserem Namen zu treffen.

There is a time for everything, also for my time in politics which has been long and eventful. Now I believe it is time for others to take the baton that was passed to me following the crash. I have therefore decided to leave political life at the end of this term.
