Here is an interesting statement from a German judge who believes that expanding interpretations of law by European judges are leading to a kind of political paralysis that stops politicians dealing with problems, like mass immigration, with the result that people are losing faith in democracy.

A few of us have discussed this in the past, including how supra-national law created by conventions and treaties hems in what national governments can do, and means that national electorates come to realise that voting for something doesn't mean a current policy will be changed. One of my main objections to the idea of rejoining the EU is that the framework of union law (the acquis communautaire), which is separate from the ECHR, waters down democracy in the member states via devices such as qualified majority voting. One ends up with a kind of stasis where 27 member states (or the required majority) take so long to agree anything, or to overcome legal challenges, that the population loses faith in the ability of governments to deal with existential problems. |  | | |  |

Saving the planet is obviously an admirable cause but people have woken up to the fact that how it is being carried out is lunacy. China, USa, India, those 3 countries are responsble for 52% of the global emissions. The UK, 0.88% yet they have forced expensive policies on us that are literally pointless in the grand scheme amd the Greens are not just all for it, they want more.
I suppose in it's own way I am like the Greens when I post on here, I know what's wrong, I can criticise freely when I have absolutely no clue how to fix the problem but, I also have the knowledge that I will never have the responsibility to fix anything. |
The Environmental Movement, in common with the Anti-War factions were largely created as a result of heavy Soviet intervention and funding in the latter half of the 20th Century. Quite ironic really as few things have ever done more damage to the environment than Communist planning policies.
A lot of them are on the far left politically so have no problem pretending that their desire to shut down Capitalism and revert to some sort of agrarian lifestyle in common with what Pol Pot tried to do in Cambodia (with them in charge not having to do any work obviously) is actually being done for the good of the planet.
Watermelons I believe is a common nickname for them. Green on the outside, Red on the inside. [Post edited 6 Sep 15:27]

I'll settle for just calling them melons then. They are all melons. | | | |

Indeed.
All they'll do is divert some votes from Labour. Nobody considering voting Reform or who previously voted Conservative would go Green if their lives depended on it.
As things stand, IMO the next General Election is likely to lead toward a Reform/Conservative coalition. I don't think Reform have enough votes to win an outright majority and they won't be interested in forming a Government with anyone else.
Badenoch has disappointed me. As a minister she was more than capable, but the big job has been beyond her. | |
