You’ll never see them

You see those people who are government of your country and you see those people who make decision and who do their best for you. You see those people on the screens of your TV-sets and you see them when they are travelling from city to city looking for support. You see those people every single day and you think you know those who rule this life you have and you think you make your choice. But, it is a great illusion and it has nothing to do with the real state of things. Those people you see every day are just images. See, the world of politics is like a huge mopped show and those people you see are just dolls put on one’s hand and they do and say things they were told to do and say. Indeed, there is nothing they do and there is nothing they can do. There other people who rule this world, there are other people you have never seen and you will never see because they don’t want you to know them. There are other people somewhere in the shade and you will never see them and will never hear them but they are real rulers of this life.

Policy of aggression

There are countries in the world and those are different countries. Countries are like people they have their characters and their typical behavior and the group of countries in the world is like a group of people who have to live and to work together, and there is always a leader or the strongest in the group and there is always one who only follows and there is also one who always run counter and one who is thirsty for position of leader. It is the same group of people and there are interrelations between them. See, there are countries that never like to take a part at some aggressive action and who proclaim themselves as neutral countries. And there are countries that will never become of this kind and they ate countries polarities for those we were talking previously. These are aggressive countries and they prefer policy of aggression before any other policy. These countries are aggressive and they always have conflicts with other countries, they have conflicts with small and big countries because there is no way for them to act the different way. Though, policy of aggression never lives for a long.

System of education

There is a system for everything we have in this life. People have created a lot of rules to make their lives not that scary and frightening. It is easier for them to live when they know for sure what to do with their lives. The system is like the manual for people and it free them of the opportunity to make choice and think about the next step. When we are born we are taken to kindergarten and we stay there until we are grown up enough to go to school. Than we spend certain amount of time at school and after we finish it we enter colleges or universities. And on the university or college one chooses depends his or her future. That is how people managed to organize their lives and this is the plan they follow no matter on what. It is like we make our choice about school or university but indeed there is no choice left for us to make, the choice is made by millions of those who lived before us. And they left the manual for us and we have to follow the rules of that manual. That is the system and it makes all people alike.

Read first

I was recently in a home with a beautiful couple that hold absolutely opposite views when it comes to politics. Interestingly enough, the couple could debate politics the same way that they could debate everything else. There was a loving difference between them that was not born to politics or any other topic, and it opened up a world of understanding for me. There are no lines between love and hate, especially when it comes to politics, unless we choose to place them there.

I listened on election night to McCain’s speech when it was clear that Obama was to take the presidency. There were jeers for the new President Elect, a clear and seething hatred coming from the crowd. Oddly enough, Obama later reached out to those people who had reacted to his good news with such disdain. We take politics so personally because we feel that our future is at stake. Yet just because we disagree when it comes to politics does that mean we can’t possibly live together and work together to make things better. If I look back at the couple with totally opposite views on politics the answer would have to be a resounding no. We can bridge those gaps that bipartisan politics creates and we can move forward as one whole unit. All we have to do is put aside the animosity that political parties create just through mere existence. That would be the aim of politics in the first place. We all just want things to get better and we want our lives to flourish, no matter what side of the fence we are on when it comes to politics.

Dishonest Thing

Politics is always considered to be cruel and dishonest thing. Politicians are promising to make life of people better, but unfortunately they forget about people after they are elected.
In many countries there weren’t any elections at all. Later all the elections were controlled by government. Nowadays in most of the countries there is a democracy but one can’t say for sure that all the elections are true and legal. Even if they are legal, there is a big possibility that people choose a person or a party which will forget about what he or they promised before the elections. Nowadays there are just many ways to make new arrangement of political power all over the world but some of them are too radical, others are too loyal. Probably the political situation will never change in the world distinctly. I think that society will behave the way its government behaves. If the government will manage to minimize losses during the economical crisis, it will not be blamed by society and maybe it will be even respected. It seems to be easy to deal with politics but there’s a lot of responsibility to be a politician.

Political System of Germany

The electoral system of Germany is a form of proportional representation, i.e. each voter has two votes: one for the election of deputies of the Bundestag to its geographical constituency and one for voting for party lists, so that voters could split their vote between the two parties. To vote and to stand for election to the bodies of state authority has the right to every citizen over 18 years.
One half of the deputies of the Bundestag is elected by a simple majority vote of the territorial constituencies, the other half is formed by political parties in accordance with the results of the elections on party lists land, so that the whole of the Bundestag reflects the balance of power between the parties at the national level, as measured by the outcome of voting on party lists. This mechanism ensures the Bundestag leaders of major political parties, parliamentary mandate, even if they defeat the territorial constituencies.
A political party can not be represented in parliament if it did not receive at least 5% of the votes throughout the country, or 3 seats in the districts. However, in elections in 1990 was an exception in order to give more chances to the less-organized parties in the eastern lands, and thus more opportunities to voters living there, since they represented only 20% of the total electorate united Germany. Financial support for political parties to provide the state, but doing so if the party in the voting lists collect no less than 0.5% of the vote.
