Berger Paint Colour Card
rebuke to democracy and an open council
Last recent reform of the Electoral Act (Last reform undertaken in LO 2 / 2011 of January 28 and AS 3 / 2011 of January 28, 2011) has meant a setback to democracy in Spain, "loaded at a stroke" and to make matters worse by consensus of the major parties, the open council, the last bastion of direct democracy and therefore of municipal autonomy, which many idem. has been throughout history.
And direct democracy is practiced in the Councils proposed an effective method to kill bureaucracies, "rollers" political and economic, in terms of dealing with problems daily directly and invited the participation of all those involved in the problems of your municipality. The recently removed direct democracy exercised by asamblearismo, since this is the main decision-making body in any organization.
Neighborhood Assembly, was the association of like-minded people, where everyone were in the same right to decide on a particular topic and were represented directly by them. In the Assembly set out a topic for debate, where it was always to arrive at decisions by consensus to reach a minimum agreement and thus avoid the use of the vote. Participation in the Assembly was freely and voluntarily, being the only one who could approve or disapprove of previously agreed actions and decisions.
was a bottom-up organization, had a federal principle, ie that the Municipal Assembly to take its decisions by a president, if not by consensus, it was his duty to ensure that this method was used in all aspects.
The current democracy, accepted and included in our Constitution, a representative democracy based on the part of some "experts" in politics, which often tend to be excellent demagogues, protected by the "mantle" of political parties, who may never respond to social problems.
The alleged involvement of people in democracy, namely "freedom" to choose our representatives by voting, has generated and will generate a certain degree of bureaucratization about political power, creating political and traditional castes (families and parties) in English and European policy. Democracy is no longer exercised by the people, to move to be exercised by the states and thus continue their dominance through the cunning and strength. The representative system then becomes a means of domination by which parties to the company suggest that she is the sovereign and decides by suffrage.
Then there are large advertisements inviting us to participate in democracy, which is reduced to inserting a ballot and choose the new rulers to manipulate the law for defined periods of time. A democracy that the only freedom that gives us is to elect new leaders who will direct, with few exceptions, society (and we suffer in our flesh) into the abyss of poverty and unemployment, under the pretext of popular will.
The representative system creates and guarantees, a government monopoly contrary to the interests of society apart from the economic system, which happens to be managed and controlled by banks and multinationals.
Advocates of the total representative system (the undersigned in favor of direct democracy in small towns and open seats in the rest) to hear such allegations come in defense of its democratic system, ensuring that democracy is not only cast a vote, if not several alternatives of participation as the control action and demand what they do not tell us, is one of the thousands of actions to control and claims that are filed in a legal and political system, most often, in European democracies, so flawed. Remembering
, with appropriate licenses, an anarchist classic, I would say that "universal suffrage is a trap, a mask behind which hides the power of political parties, Banking and the State. " Criticizing
assembly-democracy dictatorship of majority is the largest anti purpose within the systems "democratic executive" since it is the system that allows real consensus.
With the recent reform of the Act is to deprive the whole town (at least three of them in smaller towns) of their freedom to decide by voting, their destination.
worth not demagogic, or poorly valued arguments of previous ungovernability low participation, or is that maybe now they will participate?. Do not be manipulative and admit the obvious and not conjecture that the new law in hand may only vote three, when you used to all the people, if you wanted.
If the country gentlemen parents have just given him oto "bite historic municipal autonomy." Whoever
interpret, bad intentions, this exhibition, including an analysis of direct democracy and local autonomy from a Marxist perspective or radical left is wrong, as she expresses no more than evidence of time preference the author. Emilio Clemente
