How can the Elites of Europe get away controlling every body elses future?
What, I am suggesting, is that there is no effective democracy.
It does not matter what the electorate want or think, they will not get it.Michael, from your earlier comment:
– “war Hawks who are also all in for Net Zero”
That doesn’t seem to quite cover it, e.g. the three pundits on the video I critiqued are war hawks against net zero. There are plenty of these, such as Kemi Badenoch and about half her party.
I can think of two reasons war hawks would support net zero, or claim to.
One is to look like they’re doing something and actually care about humanity’s future. As the Wikipedia page about climate change opinion polling shows, the vast majority of the public do want action. So this reason is just standard political posturing to garner votes.
The other is that fossil fuels are rapidly depleting, so by getting the public off fossil fuels and onto electricity, they save fossil fuel to fight wars with.
Remember that Exxon’s own scientists worked out emissions and global warming in the mid 1970s, and it was proven in 1988 when stratospheric cooling was measured. The politicians only really acknowledged the problem nearly three decades later at Paris in 2016. That looks decidedly reluctant to me. If net zero really was such a good wheeze to fleece the public, they could have started in the 1990s.
From above:
– “How can the Elites of Europe get away controlling every body elses future?”
Money. Big, big money, and corporate power. They buy politicians on all sides, e.g. with donations to multiple political parties, so it doesn’t matter which get the most votes. Then, they secretly offer politicians that have been elected lucrative jobs after leaving office, so long as they do as they’re told. No way you can prove it.
– “What, I am suggesting, is that there is no effective democracy.”
Indeed; see above. We need to change the political structure itself, because this one has been comprehensively hacked.
