More Top Down Politics from Macron

Some people may applaud Macron's initiative - but it also highlights what is wrong with present-day politics all over Europe, and in the the EU as well: Tinkering with election rules and preventing free speech is contrary what Dirdem stands for: more say for the citizens, less influence by establishment politicians and parties - and the lobbies that support them. And one final question: who pays for these advertisements that are nothing but propaganda to support the status-quo? (5-March-2019)

Everyday Fascism - in France

So our rulers have decreed to chop another bit of freedom away from us. Who has ever really been damaged by catcalls? If there is no damage (except imagined by some extreme 'feminists') there should be no law against it. And the process of how these 'laws' are decreed is deeply undemocratic, no vote, no qualified majority. Hitler/Stalin and Mao could live with this, so what is the problem? Ugly women feel discriminated against?

Emmanuel Macron to address parliament at the Palace of Versailles

Not even in power more than two months....just demonstrates why a proper democracy should not give too much power to individuals!

With parliament in the bag, France's Macron faces union test

The absurdity of electoral rules is demonstrated again - most of them are discriminatory, favor Establisment parties. So keep them by all means but add Direct Democracy as an additional layer of policy finding.

Macron's Mandate for Change

Another Black Eye in the face of proper Democracy. A minority supports another candidate parachuted in by the Establishment. How can Macron be seen as an 'independent' politician when he recently served in the Socialist Government?

France: another Fake Democracy

The winner of this pathetic political contest has just over 32% of the votes! This is another case where a minority rules over voiceless citizens - and if the French resort to violent protests as a consequence the Establishment has only to blame itself!

Cry me a River Madame Trierweiler!

News that the French President may two-time his partner and so-called 'First Lady' throws light on a small detail in the way public money is wasted in our democracies. Apart from the fact that the role of the 'First Lady' is not written into any constitution it is a minor scandal that Madame Trierweiler is given an office and a staff of five in the Elysee Palace.
