No wonder the world is so fucked up when narcissistic egomaniacs rule it. Often time they are supported by lambs like you who only see how the person looks like but not how he or she is behaving. Mr. Stubb is a bully and an arrogant dickhead. Lol.

That’s why we need international relationships and more people who want to come to live here, work, pay taxes and start a family. Otherwise there will be no one left to pay our pensions in the future and instead we pay back nations debts through enormous taxes for the rest of our lives 🤷‍♀️
