MUCH WEIRD can of course happen, but usually it is the least weird it wins. Therefore, probably Jonas Gahr Støre Prime Minister in a few years. Then he will know that he has got his own Opinion from, well, a couple hundred people?
That’s how we do it in Norway. Only 5 percent of Norwegian citizens are members of a political party. Around one percent of these are then delegates at congresses. The country’s future leader, the person who will front the development of society and collect the majority of the dramatic changes, appointed by fewer people than it is on a single notion of “Game of Thrones”.
In 1980 WERE EACH 7 NORDMANN a member of a political party. Now it’s every 20 It is around the European average, but lots of other countries including at least members, get that they are, in selecting its leaders. In Denmark took 45,000 of the 46,000 members of the referendum when Helle Thorning-Schmidt in 2006 was elected chairman of the Social Democratic Party. In the UK the exhaust 200,000 party members vote as David Cameron in 2005, the Conservative leader. Both later became prime ministers.
EIRIK LOOP IN CIVITA has posted a note about the Norwegian electoral system and describes how we have minimal influence over the selection of persons to control us. Unlike many other countries that are close to us, we let the inner core of the parties appoint our representatives, without the possibility to change something during the few minutes we are at the polling station. He has called the note “Oligarchy or democracy?” And documents fairly convincingly that we lean towards the former.
Norwegian politicians enjoying yet great confidence – relatively speaking.
Loop writes that Norwegian voters have “unique little influence” on the composition of the parliament, compared with other democratic countries. The nomination process is closed, in 2005, only 1.4 percent of the population participated. Compared with this, the church elections the pure mass gatherings. When this elite has set up the list, there is precious little we can do. Parties’ nomination for parliamentary elections have never been changed by the voters. Act is arranged so, it is not intended that the many should overrule the (very) few.
In the book “Towards the election,” as Font publisher released this spring, writes the Belgian cultural historian and author David van Reybrouck that Europe suffers from a democratic fatigue syndrome. Turnout is lower than at any time since World War 2, and continues to fall. Fewer and fewer cares to participate actively in the political parties in the Netherlands is just one of 50 citizens with a party.
NORWEGIAN POLITICIANS enjoying yet great confidence – relatively speaking. However, the relative is not much to hang your hat on. The Global Corruption Barometer of Transparency International shows that political parties around the world are considered society’s most corrupt institutions. 9 out of 10 Greeks believe that the parties can be buy, 8 out of 10 French people think the same. In Norway there are 4 of 10 who share this opinion. Relatively good, but still an absolute problem.
The agency mission is being handled by former Health Minister Bjarne Håkon Hanssen (Ap) and the current Minister of Agriculture Sylvi Listhaug (FRP).
One important reason for the political apparatus declining legitimacy, we may well call First House syndrome, or as Frank Rossavik called it in a comment in BT a few days ago: The manipulative government. Cabinet ministers and state secretaries, diplomats and members of parliament take their networks and insight into the political system into a business where both a high priced commodity.
WHEN Troms Kraft, a public owned company with tasks which are vital for society, getting into trouble because they have provided illegal support to the Center, contact the First House, where a deputy representative to the Parliament for the same Centre, working. He gives them – secretly – advice on pushing responsibility on the Centre. After all, Troms Kraft paying for advice.
Drammen First House pays 300,000 dollars to make the city a new hospital. The agency mission is being handled by former Health Minister Bjarne Håkon Hanssen (Ap) and the current Minister of Agriculture Sylvi Listhaug (FRP). Once it is currently fairly weakened 4th branch of government, in the form of Drammen Tidende, bits stuck to the case, the voters know how their tax money is being spent. CEO Per Høiby say as always, “We do not comment on client relationships.”
municipality, from the Latin communis , which means joint , is becoming a customer that needs to be surrounded by secrecy. It is no longer us .
CURRENTLY DEALER United States and the EU on a free trade deal that could have enormous consequences for Norway. And here is “enormous” a conservative concept. Such a free trade area, which will comprise half of the world economy will affect Norwegian industry, labor, agriculture and trade more than we can possibly imagine. When the organization Corporate Europe demanded to know who the Commission had met to get input on Europe’s position in the negotiations, there was a list of 119 meetings with stakeholders. 93 percent of the meetings were with large companies or lobbyists for big business, big brothers of the First House. There is created the policy, not on open meetings with a politically mobilized population.
What was it we celebrated so vehement in May, the Council
Some of these companies will have the right to sue national governments for “loss of future profits” if they do not get what they want. In the same way that national governments can be punished by the EU if they do not follow the rules from Brussels. It is no good if the voters in those countries actually want a different policy. We have no real choice, only a limited freedom to determine who will follow the rules on our behalf, even when they are in our disadvantage.
