The biggest problem we're having is with "political correctness". DEMOCRACY is suppose to be the freedom to vote for political representatives who support the view of "the majority" of citizens. But these politicians are lying to us. The New Year's Eve mass rape epidemic in Köln was not reported and it was only by way of a leak that the events became known to the public. That incident (particularly the "cover up") had people gasping. THEN, because of the real story, it was discovered that a similar incident happened in my country too ... and was also covered up .... not during New Year's Eve .... but several months prior - last summer! Excuses upon excuses (with righteous noses in the air) were made about not wanting to cause alarm. Alarm? They don't think we need to know what is going on? Should we continue to send our daughters out in the evening to enjoy our respective, cultural expression, straight into the clutches of gang-rape gangs, because it POLITICALLY INCORRECT to mention the "M" word - Migrants?
The fundamental point is that if DEMOCRACY is to function properly we must know what is going on. We must know the truth. We vote for those who we believe represent us, or that is the idea anyway. Ought present politicians in parliament be allowed continue lying to us for the benefit of ... what was that again ... so that they can remain in power? Isn't that what we call CORRUPTION when it happens in Africa, Asia, and the Americas? No thanks. I want to know the truth so that my vote will count for something. THAT IS DEMOCRACY.
