Lagarde & ECB call for reforms of EU. An obvious end run around the current stable of EU Commissioners, their incompetence, ineffectiveness of successive leadership, leadership structures, policies and their corruption, to maintain the technocratic hegemony of the EU finance community methinks. It’s the leadership system and structures, not necessarily the bureaucratic machinery, which is mainly in focus in my honest opinion. .https://x.com/ArmstrongEcon/status/2001433131031646429?s=20 and while it’s great to vent the European Parliament has little power to influence much. https://x.com/TomaszFroelich/status/2001588766746497467?s=20
Love the little newsy articles of recorded political rants in an empty chamber venue. What’s the point of the rant or showing the empty chairs other than to humiliate the citizens that they’re not represented by anyone.
Yep the opposition in EP dissenters are at the minority end of the scale. However, it is important to have the rant anyway so rest or reality see that opposition. Generally it is the habit of political creatures to mostly attend when the leader is present or the party whips are in operation. UK is ramping up rhetoric for war, and this is a debate on militarisation in UK House of commons…you get the picture/ Huge topic No Leader = small attendance. Parliamentlive.tv - BSL - House of Commons What is the realpolitik is that the debates are rubber stamps currently with all of the arrangements agreed outside of the houses of parliament.
… nothing better than a good Elite bum fight.
