How much democracy can withstand the EU?
Why there can be no real democracy in the EU?
In the past half century of unification efforts of European countries, democracy has largely come under the wheels.
What
ordinary people will still look through the many Brussels
institutions and laws forging?
Can we, the word democracy in general put in their mouths when the EU
political elite is not elected directly by the people and the voices
of the citizens do not even have the same value, so there are
citizens 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade? Ten German include, for example,
less than a Luxembourg!
The
EU's class franchise:
The EU does not even accept the simplest democratic
principles. Because the voices of ten Germans count as less
than that of a single Luxembourger. In this election fraud
throughout the EU is built.
More
Europe means less democracy!
Even
behind the national democracy hides actually more of a
pseudo-democracy, as the below brief discussion
illustrates.
but what the EU is concerned, even the last of shame seems to have been lost. The will of the citizen is largely banned from this confused, interlaced system. A registered and almost faceless bureaucracy machinery adopts unstoppable new regulations that increasingly restrict the European population and economy and harass.
More
Europe means less Germany!
Of
panic, the EU and the euro could fail because of its many
contradictions and absurdities, is eagerly refilled and called for a
much more far-reaching European integration.
Finally
German leaders let the cat out of the bag and ask blatantly "The
United States of Europe".
But is not fooled here again with unattainable visions an apparent
solution? Most Europeans oppose further disempowerment of their
traditional nation states strictly! A European federal state as the
new superpower is certainly no consent.
The strategic context of the new thrust is clear: the German population are the necessary debt cuts and rescue packages are made palatable. The investment in the maintenance of the transfer and debt union will pay off later, so the message.
With great effort is therefore a gamble on the future of Germany and Europe. The chances are rather bad, that the financial markets can be calm in this way. Waning confidence in the omnipotence of the ECB and the cheap flood of money, breaking everything together.
The European Poker game can end as tragic as Hitler Taktiererei. In the end, the citizens have to pay for everything. The old governments are then dropped in disgrace and the new representatives promise to do better. So usually always end megalomania and political Toll boldness.
A
German counts for a lot less! Particularly
evident this imbalance with the European
Commission, where each state (regardless of size)
may only send a representative will. As
with a real representative democracy, the
allocation of seats and weighting of votes should
be showing red numbers in brackets. country Population

Although
the citizens of distressed euro countries feel
disenfranchised from Germany, the Germans are still
underrepresented in all European bodies - the
number of their representatives does not correspond
to the high population.
What
would be so wrong with that when the voice of a German could
have just as much weight as that of Maltesers, Cypriot,
Greek, etc.?
European democracy is largely dead, but even in the national parliaments of the will of the citizen hardly matters!
What can voters do not affect?
How important are still national parliamentary elections, when the contents of the parties hardly differ? Can the electorate with its vote at all still take on the future policy of the State a significant influence? Hardly - because the things that are really important, not open for discussion!
The
Kluge promises and the fool is
pleased!
Before each election, the same proven ritual takes place: There are
sown new hopes and promises made! The new project or the new minister
will finally solve the problems - is the message. Each party pretends
to have worked out better concept - praised his own ability, the
plans of the enemies are ridiculed or even dragged through the
mud.
Here,
this whole debate is increasingly coming to the charade, because the
party programs often differ only in nuances.
Whether the environmental tax increases and wage tax is reduced or
vice versa, if the supplementary pension or health reform in version
A, B or C are enforced - anything goes past the actual topic. For
more than 25 years trying to make a difference with the yard
strategy, came out of it nothing.
Apparently, many politicians actually think they could impress the electorate with their eternal Bagatelles and show fighting and keeping them happy. It seems to be the motto that addressed the real problem under any circumstances, let then must be discussed. For if thought seriously about solving the real problems that would have to talk about things that are absolutely taboo today.
What
changes by the outcome of the elections?
Even the outcome of federal elections has now only of minor
importance. Whether the party A, B or C takes the helm, which thereby
changes already big? No matter which team wins, it will
weitergewurstelt as before and the really important issues are not
addressed.
The
relevant questions are ignored!
If there were a serious democracy, the parties would have to ask my
opinion, these questions:
1.
Is the party ready to seriously address the problems of mass
unemployment and over 30 years of sustained loss of purchasing power?
Does she therefore the guts to reflect on appropriate customs borders
(within the EU)?
2.
Is the party ready to work for the introduction of nationwide
referendums?
(Per referendum would be the euro, the spelling reform, many EU
expansion and enabling laws certainly not come through).
3.
How honest the party, when it comes to the future of the EU?
Does she speak openly about the risks permanent extension?
How they envisage the future financing of the EU?
Does she see Germany again as paymaster?
4.
What role should the future EU play?
Is a gradual dissolution of nation states planned? It is believed
that a "Greater European Reich" easier to govern and would be more
efficient?
5.
Power the party thought about how a completely inhomogeneous debt
union can exist in the long term?
Can not it be that in a compromising the high-wage countries ever to
real wage increases "common market"? Until the previously
underdeveloped countries (Romania, Bulgaria, etc.) have finally
reached the higher level?
6.
If the wage adjustment progresses little or too slow, it does not
come then to unjustifiable migration?
In an open EU labor market, people will not ever practice in
underdeveloped Eastern European countries in patience. If the hope of
recovery fades, hordes of economic migrants to use their freedom of
establishment and flock to the high-wage countries.
Unattractive States and regions deserted, while the target countries
cope with the influx barely. Will not you see this problem? If you
want to dumb down the population forever and a [
http://www.tabuthemen.com/fachkraeftemangel.html ]shortage of
skilled
labor pretend?
Politicians and media people trying desperately to assert with us
there would be no taboos about everything being discussed openly and
honestly. But the points listed above are seriously debated? Whoever
holds out the six basic questions from the discussion and instead
argue about subordinated issues (eg., Via the minimum wage), operates
in my opinion, a hypocritical policy.

© Manfred J. Müller, Flensburg, Februar 2009
Manfred J. Müller has been analyzing global economic processes for 40 years. He is considered a pioneering thinker. For example, 20 years ago he called for a kind of supply chain law that obliges manufacturers and dealers to only import fairly remunerated and produced goods to Germany (finally became law in May 2021). He has also long recommended a minimum profits tax for large companies on domestic sales (Joe Biden's proposal for a global minimum profits tax in spring 2021 is finally moving in the same direction, but is far too lame and will hardly be implemented internationally). Manfred J. Müller has also been fighting for his idea of wage cost reform for three decades (gradual reduction of social security contributions with counter-financing through value added tax and customs duties).
Through
decades of brainwashing, the corporate lobby has succeeded
in making radical ideologies a matter of course! A
critical look behind the scenes of political
machinations:
Through
an army of loyal politicians and sympathetic journalists and
the superiority of their opinion factories, system-owned
economic institutes producing desired statistics, etc., they
have brought about social changes and laws that only serve
their special interests. This can be seen, for example, in
the development of earned income (real net wages and
pensions have been falling in Germany since 1980) on the one
hand and the gigantic jumps in profits on the other (such as
with shares and dividends). Should it always go on like
this?
