Just as we depend so much on these undeniable elites, our country that managed to become the European Borough only by our political imposture, seems to push them away.

: ah, îmi place mai mult termenul ăsta; am vrut să dau și alte sinonime, dar m-am grăbit să postez răspunsul; totuși, "shenanings" trimite la fiecare act în parte, pe când "pișicherie", le consideră ca pe un tot

knavery
Now, when we most need these undeniable elites, the tiny little province our country has become simply and solely at the hands of our political knavery, seems to chase them away.
Am ales ,,knavery" pentru ca este old-fashioned ca si termenul in romana...
