Could the UN Migration Pact cause the Belgian Government to fall?
Let me start off by saying the Belgian governments (people always forget the -s at the end , we have FIVE governments here for 10 million people , i wonder where the money goes then) aren't new to this. People will just smile about it like oh there it goes again ... i think they got about a record streak of over four years now. Belgian history in the making.
But what would you expect from a country that has been written up on paper in the 1830s , basically a bufferzone between france and the netherlands, as a playground for the cousin of her majesty, the Queen of England?
Well yea, its normal to take care of your familly, granted, but at high level it tends to become absurd sometimes lol.
SO
here we go again ... smoking hot topic , i avoid television and newspapers like the plague as i stick to the theory that anything with enoug mass will make a dent in the metaverse and reach me anyway, so ...
here we go again
Assuming the pact means letting everyone from all across the world in for free, because i dont really feel like wading through a zound of legal text-pdf i think the conclusion is already made.
I don't go out much but the general consensus among "the people" is hard to miss. VERY hard to miss, heh. But a referendum would be democratic AND is NOT binding (here at least, last time they did one the results werent in accordance with their stance so they classified it ... vertically , as they say, showing what it's all worth.
I wonder why people have no faith in politics ?
The referendum would be very clear, im quite sure of that. So where does that leave our local overlords who get tax-free money by the buckets and are allowed to drive through red lights because they have immunity ?
My mad bum-skillz tell me it's fairly simple
there's elections in may : the NV-a stands to gain again, adopting the pact is basically handing over the country. If anything the NV-a should openly defend it but in the backside lobby against it lol. (well, it's politics, yes, not NGO charity)
for good points with "the people"
The others could make it work, MAYBE,
if they cut back the insane tax on electricity that got instated ? (which won't happen ofcourse since MONEYYYYYYY ...)
and just because that money it's absurd to adopt it. I'm by no means a nationalist, extremist or phobe but simple practicalities would to anyone with common sense show that you can not carry the world on the shoulders of a towelsized country with 10 million people that's already on a downslope for a long , long
long
long , did i say long yet
time by now.
So , revoking the absurd tax AND adopting the pact means potential point with "the people" despite the unpopularity of "yet MORE migrants, and they already get everything for free without asking, YOU should just try ..."
and yes, you should just try, positive discrimination IS a bit OTT sometimes
i hope my contact list shows how much of a non in-bordered person i am, it showed even better before the satellius squad banned me from skype and one-drive for no reasons given, so let there be no mistake as to my intentions
helping out is good ... putting weight on top of overtaxed families ?
counter-productive ...
as i assume the main goal of a politician is not to help but to stay in position (just like i assume humans don't have the innate will to BE good, but they have the innate will to LOOK GOOD, primitive brain chemistry where the middle of the group protects you more then being at the fringe, pure core survival instinct translated to modern iThing society)
The choices seem simple :
if they want to stay in they will need to reject it , tout court
if they want to adopt it they need some serious candy and the only thing i can think of is the monty-python esque absurd tax (you're already not allowed to use your own solar energy without putting it on the net first, means pay fees, pay "transport" pay usage and tax for usage) on top of that they upped to VAT to the level of "luxury goods"
someone must have thought that would save the state, problem is , consumerwise it leaves people WITH A LOT LESS MONEY TO SPEND ... protectorates in the clouds, always the same, no empathy with down below.
And going back on free money won't happen so politically the only sound decision is to reject it BECAUSE
if the N.V.A. could convince "the people" that they will BOTH
- reject the pact and
- lower the tax on electricity
well then ... then we got another huge shift to the right and YAY ! closer to separatism (which would be disastrous, there's a grave misconception on how there's more money in flanders than in the south-side, meanwhile companies like T-palm, manager of the year and all that are building houses ALL OVER FLANDERS, but are definitely south-side, south-side government has FN-Herstal , its the major shareholder last time i checked ... YES THATS right, half of the belgian government is arms dealers)
so while there might be more working class on the north side
it certainly doesnt mean there's less MONEY on the south-side
this place is a cesspool , i always fail to explain it to people from places like america or asia, china , indonesia, vietnam like
"just start something" and then im like LOL
buying a lawnmower to mow the neighbours lawns woudl probably take about 3 months of paperwork and several thousands of euros to pay in advance before you're allowed to legally do it. On top of that you have to pay quarterlies
wether you make a cent or not so most companies, like usual , dump after two years because the initial money is nice, but the HIT ON THE BILLS that comes later
everyone forgot that in the dopamine headrush
and there, my 15 cents
adopt it ? needs candy to soften, NO BO DY DOWN BELOW WANTS IT
don't adopt it ? get EUrope on your back ....
probably some fines or something ?
In any case i dont think it's the time for MORE migrants, however sad the situation, its pointless to drain your own place flat just to be magnanimous
and face it
things are NOT going well here
you gonna give it on a silver platter to the NV-A if you're not careful and no matter how or what
i still prefer centered moneygrubbing idiots than wingnuts
its just overall better for business (not that i have one, not that id start one while im in belgium) but a lot of people do
and so and thus, let it be known
the only logical answer is no , even if that means losing face because YOU are the magnanimous all-helping grandmasters and THEY are the extremist demagogues but losing face is one thing
losing the elections another i suppose
if you cant get past that you're not fit for 2020
or you could ask "the people" but i can give you their answer right now heh
its pointless to create more misery IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT
everyone already forgot the dumps in brussels ? the squat-dumps full of migrants who slowly trickle into the obscure circuits? the camps in the mud and dirt ?
is that "helping" ?
if you CANT then your face is the least of everyone's concern and your main problem is
down-below
no one wants to pay for it anymore, even as enlightened despots pretending to be a democracy the political decision should be clear if you wanna keep your tenthousands and maybe delay government formation for a year again
getting paid double as acting government AND formation ?
or you could "sponsor" ... anyone who wants to sponsor one can do so but is financially responsible until they can carry their own load, b/c you have a lot of people here already , born here and all that, who can't or barely can't anymore.
and "the people" think you should take care of them first
woaw, its my 30 cents by now
well, why not, we had it all today from metafysics and filosofy to linux statistical extractions to politics now heh
yay !
me, for i am the cat
and actually i personally don't give a flying fuck about cirque de belgique, article 13 is a bit closer to my own life
