Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

If people were in good faith and understood what democracy means this would be OK.

Outsiders will not be totally acquainted with the culture of the group, so it is normal they will make the occasional blunder.

Only professional politicians and insiders will know how to behave "properly".

If one cherishes democracy and not having persistent oligarchies one would appreciate outsiders bringing fresh perspectives, and so patience would be advised.

Similar complaints are also tended against the UKIP in the UK and I find them unfair: This is what you would get when you get "new blood" (irrespective if you agree or disagree with their political views).
