Are monies going where voters want monies to go?

 

What we call Democracy are merely a collection of blank cheques to be used in many ways other than the ways voters want their monies to be used.

In every election, voters are asked to support a given candidate and/or political party and many attend polling stations or use other ways of voting to make a choice. But what choice are they really making? Apart from marking their ballots, what choices are they really making?

In actual fact, they are just giving away their decision making powers to individuals that they hardly know or that they hardly ever meet for the said individuals to do as they please. They are given away the entitlement to make decisions. They are giving away their rights.

Democracy is based on illusions. Democracy is a mirage. Democracy is fiction. And the consequences of maintaining fiction can be and usually have been  catastrophic, because all voters can do is to vote down a political party to replace it with yet another ilusion months or years later. We lie to ourselves pretending that things will be better if so or so gets elected.

Elections are about how monies are used and when it comes to how monies are going to be used we have no choice whatsoever. We have got no choice in terms of where the monies are going to be coming from or how monies are going to be spent. Decisions about where the monies are going to be coming from are arbitrary and decisions about where the monies are going to go are equally arbitrary.

What we call Peace is in actual fact an ongoing War in which those who have little bargaining power are bound to lose.

This is why voters should be able to keep in their pockets as much of their monies as possible and be able to make their own personal decisions. The numbers of those in employment are debatable as they don't tell us the truth about subemploment, the kind of employment leading to even greater poverty. If in spite of working long hours you don't get enough to have decent life then you are not employed and you are actually a slave. This is Modern Slavery. If we were to discriminate between those who earn enough and those who do not earn enough then the numbers of those in real employment would be much lower.

So called EU funding is money given by Britain to EU

What some call EU funding for Britain is money that Britain gave to EU. In actual fact, EU doesn't give a penny to the United Kingdom and takes money away to feed unelected  bureaucrats and finance a life of luxury.

There is no such a thing as EU funding for the United Kingdom. For decades, Britain has been a net contributor to the European Union.

Wales, Scotland and Northern have been subsidised by England and, in spite of the money given by England, Scotland run by SNP has managed to amass a huge amount of debt at a time when oil and gas prices are on shaky ground.

Time to get rid of myths. European Union just took. It never gave anything to the United Kingdom. United Kingdom has been paying, paying and paying even more to support a bureaucratic apparatus that has damaged the British economy with stupid regulations and destruction of British resources. British Fisheries are a very clear example of how damaging European Union policies have been leading fishing stocks to the brink of extinction. Before the United Kingdom joined the Common Market, Britain had more than 650,000 farmers. How many left? Britain had collieries. How many left? Britain had a steel industry and shipyards. How many left? The time to reclaim British resources for Britain is long overdue.
