Political vices
Municipal elections. It sounds so democratic, but is it? Can local parties measure up to nationally-driven parties? Unfortunately, there are more aspects within politics that are wrong.
A: Political parties are no good.
1- They all want to exercise power and function within a flawed state system
2- They attract flawed figures, including many psychopaths
3- They demand party discipline as a support for their power
4- They appoint partisan cronies to various strategic positions
5- They are at the forefront of deceiving voters
B: Career politicians don't virtue.
1- They are there exclusively for themselves, if overlapping partly also for the party
2- They constantly allow themselves to be dictated to
3- They nod with conviction when voters need to be cheated.
4- They opt for a lucrative career by means of a slippery slope to a government position.
5- They do not represent their own supporters at all
C: Cabinets are no good.
1- They represent parties, not voters
2- They outline policies based on a lot of minority views
3- Ministers are incompetent in their field of expertise.
4- Top civil servants largely determine the policy
5- Cabinet members are oversensitive to lobbyists
D: Falling Cabinets Don't Succeed.
1- After the fall of 1 member of government, an entire cabinet can fall
2- The task of the opposition seems to be to make every cabinet fall
3- A caretaker government is more powerful after the fall than before
4- Members of an outgoing cabinet do not train their successors
5- A cabinet can fall after favorable polls of 1 of the coalition parties
E: The Senate is not virtuous.
1- Senators are appointed on a party-political basis
2- The stepped election and the number of seats thereafter is undemocratic
3- The Senate is populated by castoffs and slipped up party unbeneficiaries
4. Senators are expected to blindly support the coalition agreements.
5- There is hardly any knowledge of the law among senators (original intention)
F: Provincial and municipal elections are wrong
1- Both are not supposed to be about national politics
2- Provincial elections lead step by step to filling in the Senate
3- National parties tarnish local/provincial interests
4- National parties get subsidy. Get national media attention
5- National leaders (up to and including ministers) pollute the content of their campaigns
G: The head of state is no good.
1- It gets this job in the medieval way: first birthright
2- It is inviolable, so the prime minister is responsible for every slip-up.
3- It has no added value but costs tons of money.
4- It is a priori a professional incompetent.
5- It makes use (or misuse) of improper privileges
H: The law is no good.
1- Judges are appointed for life on a party-political basis
2- You don't get justice, you buy justice.
3- The Netherlands lack a Constitutional Court
4- Art. 120 limits and prohibits judges to review laws against the constitution
-5- Lawyers do not focus on law, but on scoring
I: The media (msm) are no good.
1- They are not independent; owned by a few
2- They take colored news from economic superpowers like Reuters and ANP
3- They blindly follow the governments and their related organizations.
4- They quote people and invite guests who all say the same thing.
5- Sales, profits and circulation are more important than objective reporting.
Z: The conclusion is therefore that we live in a fake democracy, in a lawless reality. The alphabetical space between I and Y can be filled in by anyone you like. Because of the above and the number of ruthless psychopaths who will never allow themselves to be helped, there is only one solution: REVERSE.
