Voters don't matter anymore. The bureaucrats control everything. Welcome to the modern "democracy", coming soon to the USA (if not already here).
Yeah, it’s here (in the US) already. Being a small business owner, trust me... it’s here.
On my trip to Ireland most of the citizenry looked at me like I had 2 heads for saying that I owned a business, and would move to Ireland if I could still run my own business. The thought of capitalist notions is completely alien to them.
Again, not all - but everyone (yes... everyone) I spoke to out there thinks Government needs to take control of their lives. They “want jobs” but think that capitalists are the spawn of Satan.
Bureaucrats helped by their partners the newsmedia and TV - ALL of it.
About the only non-biased or less biased source I have seen is the UK Telegraph owned by the Barclay brothers who are self-made men, Catholics and not part of the Davos, CFR, Bilderberger gang.
Fox/Sky News/Murdoch/Al Waleed? LOL! They are only slightly better than the other vermin.
You probably don't realize this, but this statement is a myth that socialists since Marx have been drilling into unsuspecting heads. "People are gooood; we loooove the people (a pause for mopping up drops falling from the bleeding heart), it's the governments that are a problem."
All governments, even the totalitarian ones, come from the same pool of humanity as the "people." Saddam Hussein is just was just a feeble man. He was a dictator and maintained his power because the people, ordinary folks, loved what he did and were willing to (and did, by hundreds of thousands) die for him and his version of Iraq. German people loved Hitler and were euphorically happy for a decade after they voted him into power. The Soviet Unions and China kept murdering their respective citizens by the millions until the people have changed preferences --- and, once they did, the governments were changed with hardly a shot.
In our own country, we have a very weak, mediocre man acting as president. The enormous power he wields is drawn from the people of the Unites States, the majority of whom not only voted for him but refrain from disapproval of his destructive policies.
Bureaucracies are chosen by and consist of the people.
In this specific case, your post seems completely disconnected from reality: did you not notice voters just threw out one bureaucracy --- after almost a century in power -- and substituted it with a different one?
So, what do words "don't matter" meant to you?
