In 1974, Scorsese published a very interesting talk he had with his parents, Americans from Italian descent. They tell hem about the old days, having 13 people living in three-room apartments, no electricity, washing by hand, lavatories in the garden, moving over from another continent, ethnic struggles.

Lees verderAl in De verweesde samenleving (1995), maar zeker ook in De puinhopen van acht jaar Paars (2002) identificeerde Pim Fortuyn wat tegenwoordig als het partijkartel wordt bestempeld (zie het kopje Terzijde: de herkomst van de term ‘partijkartel’ voor de herkomst van dit begrip). Het partijkartel is, grofweg gezegd: het elitaire clubje partijleden dat de macht en baantjes onderling verdeelt en andersdenkenden actief buitensluit van zowel deelname aan hun clubje als ook aan het maatschappelijk debat.
