Countries like the UK and Greece were instrumental in bringing about parliaments and democracy and establishing laws etc, and they too have just been quickly usurped by these awful evil people, who have managed to turn democracy and freedom into weapons to be used against the people. It's even worse than an outright dictatorship, because people believe they are free to an extent, or they believe in the benevolence of their rulers and than nay restrictions are necessary and for their own safety, or paradoxically for the protection of their freedom. At least if you are ruled by an evil dictator, you know the score. You know not to trust the media, you know your fellow citizens all know the score - it's easier to find a way to fight back. But this is so much more difficult and so much more entrenched into the whole of society.
