Ireland's Member of the European Parliament, Clare Daly Speaks... Very interesting Speach.

Love her.

Watched an interview with Col. Douglas MacGregor yday Luke.
When asked if he would be offered the gen of state position
if the 45th becomes 47th he answered
"the Senate would not approve me, they only accept money spenders".

So yea... sometimes the bureaucracy is there only to uphold itself
+ spray money at their donors.
The I scratch yours you scratch mine thingy.

So they lie to us on a gen basis: Un, Nato, Eu parliament and Washington D.C.
It's an internal thing. Who pay for it? Taxpayers.

Luke, if you were around one of those round tables and you knew that you can not change nothing to the better... would you also become one of them and vote for more money to your own pocket?
I think you learn after the first week at the job what is the system... all illusions deminish.

Happy weekend regardless Luke

Haha, that's a man with a conscience I'd say!

Indeed, thats the case for many of the political institutionals organs of the so called `democratic´ political systems and in particular in the so called Western world.

There is many evidence how the institutionalized organs and their decision making bodies, like commities or expert rounds or similar functional units, are debating behind closed doors and without access or influence or a mandate of the people, the voters, themself.

In addtion, for example the Commission of the EU, have delegated powers to decide in partular areas of policies, directly on new legislations.

Or in case of (self declared) emergency situations, they can practically even undermine or bypass own regulations or administration rules. Most recent example: Head of the EU Commission von der Lyen.


So at the end of the day, we not only have a confusing, practically impenetrable and complicated nested legal basis, but above all and due to the practically non accessibility, no possibilities of participation or influence.

And if knowledgeable lawyers should manage to initiate certain lawsuits before the highly spezialised courts after (!) often necessary proceduires at national level, then the procedure, which often takes years, must first be drilled through.

An infinite water head apparatus. Presumably more worse than the previously known and which was bursting with incredible bureaucracy, communist system which collapsed around 1990.


In my opinion, a throrough reformation and basic reset towards Democracy 2.0 is long overdue. At latest since the so called financial crisis of 2007/8. But in favour of the people, not the ruling elites.


Just my modest opinion.

@ Itchy, Girl...

I don't claim to know anything about Ireland's politics; therefore, I have no idea who MM and Leo are. I generally don't click onto speeches on Youtube made by politicians either, but Clare's grabbed my attention with the title, so I decided to take a peek and was very glad that I did. If all politicians were more like her, the world would be a much better place.

Maybe we could clone her.... just sayin'.....

Cheers to you, Girl.... ... and yes I DID say GIRL...

@ Grandsiozzie
@ Lukeon

Glad you guy's like her too....

I agree with you whole-heartedly...

The prime minister of Australia is paid by the peoples of Australia A$10,846 per week. He is paid by the people to ensure the voice of the peoples is heard in parliament. PM is paid the ensure that the will of the people is implemented by the parliament, he is not paid by the people to engage in Liberal Labor party's preferential voting scam. The preferential voting scam deprives the people of there votes as the preferential voting scam over rides the will of the people.
The original Australian Constitution Act (July 1900) in PART lll. - HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
24. The House of Representatives shall be composed of members directly chosen by the people of the Commonwealth, and the number of such members shall be, as nearly as practicable, twice the number of the senators.

The Liberal Labor parties scam is inconstant with our Constitution, it creates an unlawful two party rule that deprives of the will of the people, prescribed within our constitution.

Truth? We want none of that right wing extremism!

I think she's fighting an already lost battle. We conceded to NATO pressure 20 years ago. We're not militarily neutral in practice. Shannon is a military base by government approval. Nato doesn’t need us to be members and we wouldn't qualify with 0.2% of GDP defence budget. She's running on high octaine.

@ robplum...

It's much the same in most places. You have to vote so that you believe you are making a difference. If the votes don't tally their way, they just change the electoral boundaries...

...

Your entitled to your own opium ( )
hov-bever .. (besserwisser alert:) we didn't see what Nato was about this clearly before.
It was always in some foreign land with some badboy dictator that Borat could make fun of.
So it's renewed relevance when the Nato (aka USA) playd hardball up until the very last minute of the 24th of February 2022. Basically insisting on not leaving Ukraine.
Leading to 400.000 dead young ones on the ground so far.
And for what. No Nato (aka USA) should have done a Jugoslavia (accepting the split up)
here when already cought with the hand on the cookie jar.

@ Lukeon...

Too right, like I said we need more of her in this world...


@ Grandsiozzie...

...

@ Merlot22...

0.2% of GDP is still enough to buy slingshots.... Maybe ya think that her argument is a little OTT but she's got the right kind of stuff that more politicians should have...

@ Itchy Girl...

Yes, I am really loving my Aran sweater. Best sweater that I've ever owned...


Take care Girl....

Far to simplistic Hans, they also change electoral boundaries yes but much more than that.
John Howard created an Itinerant Electors Roll and put me on it to block my lawful according to the Rules Application for leave in the grossly dishonest high court of Australia.
Howard also changed Mooloolabar electoral boundaries putting my enrollment into the division Fisher in Queensland, later dirty John Howard toppled my MP at later time in division of Fisher and while he was Speaker of the Lower House, the honorable Peter Slipper.Speaker of the House my member in parliament,
This year Morrison removed my name off electoral roll and Honorable Darren Chester, MP then Minister for Veterans Affairs & Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs filled submission on my behalf with the bent electoral commissioner Rodgers.
As I stated the Liberal / Labor parties are also running scam swapping preferences with each other.
Labor leader Albanese MP while in opposition rubber stamped Morrison liberal party Foreign in Ukraine for example and also swapped preferences with liberal and the preferences nullifies the will of the peoples votes. That is different what your reply suggests, quite different

@ robplum...

Yes they are just a bunch of dirty rotten scoundrels and don't get me started on the high court...
Grrrrrr I remember a certain Tasmanian MP getting kicked out because she held two passports, 1 Australian and 1 British. The high court ruled against her over this issue. FFS is that not a British flag at the top left-hand corner of our Australian flag... Our own flag flies for two countries. What a bunch of disconnected, geriatric old farts this panel of fudges (and yes, I did not spell that incorrectly) on the high court are. Grrrrrr... Just to mention one incident...
