In this paper we discuss:

1. The post-WWII political equilibrium and its pillar parties;
2. The US Republican Party as it was built by Dwight David Eisenhower;
3. The CDU designed by Konrad Adenauer;
4. The Tory party led by Churchill and Thatcher;
5. The difference with the current leadership by Trump, Laschet and Johnson;
6. How personalities have substituted institutions in the new world order; and
7. Why this constitutes a political risk as large as the external challenges from China and Russia.
