« Particracy »
is often used to comment the belgian political system. That word is
used on a pejorative way and the elected persons don't like to hear
that word. Unfortunately we have again an exemple of that way of
defending the interest of the old belgian parties.</div>

<span style="font-style:normal">To
be allowed to be on the lists for the next elections in octobre there
are procedures to follow. One of them, if you don't have any deputee,
is to collect signatures. There are two possibilities. Entering the
political arena </span><i>helped</i><span style="font-style:normal">
by other parties. Or trough another way : the citizens. I
consider that way much more legitime.</span></div>

As a
defender of the direct democraty, this second solution looks much
more fair, more legitime. We need to have the approval of the other
citizens to be on the lists. What can be more democratic ? If
the potentially elected person do not manage to be supported by people,
how could he have voices ? Would it be useful to be on the
lists ?</div>

<span style="font-style:normal">It's
easier to have signatures from deputees ? True. But is that not
entering in the political game that I do not agree with ? Is it
not be </span><i>redevable</i><span style="font-style:normal"> for a
service ? Above all what would be the official political line of
the other parties ? And how much would it cost later ?</span></div>

In
beautiful Belgium, the second solution is way from easy. Without
spotting anyone I consider this mission as almost impossible. I'm not
speaking about the fact of finding a hundred of persons ready to
support a new candidate in town, no.</div>
<div style="font-style:normal;margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY">

<div style="font-style:normal;margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY">
I'm
speaking about the fact that the official organization of the
elections did not put the official paper for the provincial elections
online ! We are at 58 days of the deadline and that sheet simply
does not exist ! The official administration of this country
conscientiously prevent the arrival of new parties by simply blocking
the access.</div>

I
have a hangover when I realize that this way of working still exists in my country in
2012. I'm disgusted that only one media has relayed the information,
<a href="http://www.lavenir.net/article/detail.aspx?articleid=DMF20120717_00182757" target="_blank">l'avenir</a>. It's not only for the pirates but for every single new
organization who want to take part in these elections ! We are
pushed away by the big parties. We are fighting for participative
democracy. We want to meet the citizens !</div>

Without
speaking of a conspiration of victimise ourselves I have to underline
that the fight will be hard. But it's not a big deal. Because behind
every single computer there are revolted citizens. Traditional medias
