In a normal parliamentary system, part of the MPs support the government and part support the opposition. In the European parliament, this arrangement has been missing. Here, only one single alternative is being promoted and those who dare thinking about a different option are labelled as enemies of the European integration. Not so long ago, in our part of Europe we lived in a political system that permitted no alternatives and therefore also no parliamentary opposition. It was through this experience that we learned the bitter lesson that with no opposition, there is no freedom. That is why political alternatives must exist.
In Latin America a dictatorship of government institutions in the sixties in Argentina, Brazil and Chile was awarded a Political Science designation, as "Bureaucratic Authoritarianism," a praetorian rule through government institutions.
Sean Hanley has written a book on how the Czech Republic is fighting that trap & Havel's speech opposes the new EU system of faceless functionaries as a variant of Russian Communism or Latin American Corporatism.
Allende as president combined Marxist assault on the owners of the means of production with populist lavishing of short-term benefits on his working-class followers, and on both counts he stirred violent resentment among upper- and middle-class Chileans ...
Hey wait! That could be our stimulus/porkulus package by another name!
UPDATE The Same Scumbag Tax-Cheats Rebuking Vaclav Havel are keeping an audit on how the average Eurotrash Parliament Member earns ONE MILLION POUNDS in a five-year term TOP SECRET because these vile parasitic specimens of political toxic waste wouldn't want their home countries to know how much they rake in under the table and in Brussells and Strasbourg scams and rip-offs [aka perks].
Sounds like the State of Illinois, only more socialist and predatory.
