I think this is too defeatist of an attitude. It's a popular Internet meme, but I actually see things shifting, politically, depending upon EU and EU-national electoral results.
People get frustrated at the slow speed, but stable nations don't have rapidly-changing politics. That is what makes them stable.
It's also taking politicians and voters a long time to understand what is going on around them. Everything changes so fast. So, voters make mistakes that look stupid, in hindsight, but they eventually self-correct.
