First come first serve
In Western democracies, the virtues of balance and moderation are disappearing, while shrill tones set 
the agenda of the public opinion. Identity politics rate the demands of certain groups more highly than the demands of others and thus attack the principles of equality and individual rights. Do values of activists count more than laws? Do these cultural debates threaten the heart of our democracy?
