This is a typical case in which the discontented focus solely on the political component forgetting that a State consists not only of the legislative power but also of two other powers: the executive and the judiciary.

This is a typical case where it is clear that people who complain have not yet realized that a politics surrounded by public careerists does not act in the interests of citizens but of the various cliques, elite and lobbies.

This is a typical case in which who writes the press release fails to say the most important thing necessary to immediately resolve his case and the countless other cases of discontent in the world. What is more important to say is that the executive and judicial powers (you mean the public jobs) must be able to be participated by citizens who in this way can fix in the right way the politics.

Should I walk on the water to ensure that all of you decide to discuss within the Pirate Party the need to democratize the executive and the judiciary powers in those Countries who declare to be democratic?! It's good to fight single battles. But we need even more to face that monster (the dictatorship and tyranny of the public careerists) defeating it every problem of bad politics will automatically disappear.





italian:

Questo è un tipico caso in cui degli scontenti si focalizzano sulla sola componente politica dimenticando che uno Stato consta, oltre che del potere legislativo, anche di altri due poteri: il potere esecutivo ed il potere giudiziario.

Questo è un tipico caso in cui è palese che le persone che si lamentano non hanno ancora capito che una politica circondata da carrieristi pubblici non fa gli interessi dei cittadini bensì delle varie cricche, elite e lobby.

Questo è un tipico caso in cui chi scrive il comunicato tralascia di dire la cosa più importante che può far subito risolvere il suo caso e gli infiniti altri casi di scontento nel mondo. Ciò che più importa dire è che i poteri esecutivi e giudiziari (sarebbe a dire i pubblici impieghi) devono poter essere partecipati a tempo determinato dai cittadini che così condizioneranno nel giusto modo la politica.

Bisogna camminare sulle acque per far sì che ci si decida a discutere in seno al Partito Pirata la necessità di rendere democratici il potere esecutivo ed il potere giudiziario?! E' bene combattere battaglie singole. Ma serve ancora di più affrontare quell'unico mostro (la dittatura e tirannide dei carrieristi pubblici) sconfiggendo il quale ogni problema di mala politica scomparirà automaticamente.
