The Great Cultural Lie.

A few comments today on headlines, ripped from various website and yesterdays news.

From the domestic political platformed shoe:

Primeminister Anderes Fogh Rasmussen is pissed. As he said yesterday at the posh weekly pressmeeting he is really pissed with focus on the commotion and turbulence concerning the ongoing negotiations about the situation for a specific group of asylum seekers.

The government had last week made a narrow deal supported by Danish Peoples Party (DPP). A deal that underwent a lot of critisism for being inhauman and hostile, keeping the asylum seekers and especially their kids in The Camps, for at least three years before they could apply for a moere normalized life outside. During the electorial campaign, the matter of the asylum seekers had much attention and primeminister Rasmussen, came out more than one time and stated that his primary focus in this matter was to do "a broad political agreement, that basicly would limit the asylumseekers stay in The Camps to two years."

But being what they are the negotiaters from DPP had to stab a little deeper with they nationalistic bitterness, and secured a deal that meant the beforementioned grup will have to stay at least 3 years in The Camps.

This spun turbulence and a possible alternative majority that c o u l d mean that the governments deal with DPP is overruled. And that pisses Fogh Rasmussen off. As he said yesterday at the press-meeting: "I will not put up with alternative majorities every time somebody do not agree with the government. It will have consequenses."

A threat! If you dont play by my book and rules, I will release political turmouil by issuing another election, which I will probably win - again - and then maybe you will teach a lesson, see that I am right and learn to shot up.

But, alas: Here we are in 2008, hearing the primemnister saying that he will not accept an absoulte democratic principle! Majority overrules minority. And as the proffesional he is, he uses FEAR to emphasizes his point by saying, that he will not accept the "alternative majority" evrytime it disagrees with the government. Firstly, it doesnt happen a lot. And secondly: He has to.

Ofcourse he can decide whether or not to have yet another election, but is it not holding the nation in arrogant and infantile powergrip: If I dont get it my way, I ll fuck you up?

Anyho, consider the total irony: The Primeminister now works at full throttle to secure his own alternative majority by look to the likes of New Alliance!!! A party that in their electorial campaign stated that their prime target was to lessen DPP political influence, is now on their way to make their first political deal ever, securing DPPs influence.

The alternative majortity opposing the deal that the Goverment has done with DPP consists of conservative renegade Pia Christmas Møller, the "collective" opposition including The Radical Left and two NorthAtlantic MPs from Kaalait Nunat (Greenland).

DPPs leader Pia Kjærsgård comment on the two Northatlantic members: "I dont think greenlanders has anything to do in danish domestic politics..."

And on the other side of the pond, not a surprise, but a confirmation. A documentation the lies told by El Presidente and his adminstration concerning the Iraq War.
