    Dick head would be an appropriate term here.How could people be so stupid to sell their own soul to the devil.

    I'm surprised you like the 'word'. It literally means traitor. Isn't that the 'wrong' approach? The Wikipedia article continues:

    The Daily Mail picked up the term four days later, and the BBC then brought it into common use internationally.[1] The Times' editorial asserted: "To writers, the word Quisling is a gift from the gods. If they had been ordered to invent a new word for traitor...they could hardly have hit upon a more brilliant combination of letters. Aurally it contrives to suggest something at once slippery and tortuous."
    What superficiality! (If that word is too offensive, let me know, I'll find another one).

    Excellent term.
    Macedonia is full of Quisling politicians and instead of being NAZI collaborators, they are EU collaborators.

    Quislings Everywhere

    Quisling (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈkʋɪsˈlɪŋ]; English: /ˈkwɪzlɪŋ/) is a term used in reference to fascist and collaborationist political parties and military and paramilitary forces in occupied Allied countries which collaborated with Axis occupiers in World War II, as well as for their members and other collaborators...

    ...The term was coined by the British newspaper The Times in an editorial published on 19 April 1940, entitled "Quislings everywhere" after the Norwegian Vidkun Quisling, who assisted Nazi Germany as it conquered his own country so that he could rule the collaborationist Norwegian government himself.
    Perhaps the new word for Quislings could be based on one of our own infamous politicians?
