The concept of a representative only has meaning when the representative is what we call a mouthpiece: he/she is the ‘mouth’ of those he/she represents. A good representative is not only a mouthpiece but through his/her personality and his/her assorted skills manages to get across and achieve that which the group he/she represents desires.
Theoretically in a Democracy that is the job of the politicians and generally the political parties: they represent the will of the People and seek to achieve the targets/goals the People have set. That is, that it is a prerequisite that the People know what they want and choose the one who will achieve it or simply apply it. The People are the ones taking the decisions and the representatives, i.e. the political parties, see to it that they are completed.
This division of labour and not division of power is the healthy expression of one kind of Democracy. Also, it requires a People that is cognizant and master of the situation as well as parties-representatives which are liable and fully limited by the orders and the wishes of the People, whichever they may be.
In today’s actual situation we don’t of course have the above model, nor in Greece nor abroad, but a twisted aberration of the above model where we have a People that is never listened to and small dictatorial groups- political parties that in the People’s name do whatever they want.
We named the political party policy a scourge and the reason is because that is where the twisted process that caused the aberration of this very logical form of Democracy was done and is being done.
The political party policy is a system of values and methodology commonly accepted by a group of representatives-politicians who obey to the orders of the groups of the Citizens that voted for them. In reality, however, it is just the so-called ‘route/trajectory’: the military in nature order of a specific behavior and full submission to the ‘party’ without ideology or link to the People’s wish. This subjugation to the party just as before there was subjugation to the king, the land owner, the Turk, the kotzabasi, the Franc, and to other monarchs of assorted scope, ensures the full dependence of each Parliament member from the party and not from the People, since in order for him/her to exist in the political stage (for monetary and promotional reasons) he/she must have been approved by the party. As such, the People are only the object of manipulation and beguilement every four years when the party members occupy themselves with the People in a parody of Democracy.
This, of course, creates the question of who designs this political party member trajectory to which all submit since for certain it is not the People. Were it the leader of each political party then the response to the demands of the People would be much more direct so that they would be able to get elected more easily and without the great need for juggling elections and other such investments. But here we have each leader trying to fool the people, dressing up in different ways the very same policy (as we can prove with the succession of the different political parties of the last 50 years including the junta) so that the People will accept it and not revolt. Therefore, someone else is the one designing it and giving it over to the political parties to have it imposed, whereupon they are characterized as a scourge in this article.
Who he/she is, or rather who they are is not very mysterious and can be easily be discovered via two sources: the family trees of politicians that often are the last branches of dynasties of kontzabasi (back from the Turkish occupation), ship owners/ corporate owners/ bankers, assorted feudal lords, franc blue bloods and chiflik owners, Fanariotes, and every other kind of colonialist intermarried with People’s manipulators of Greek descent. The other source is the research of the way the money flows, i.e. towards whom the political party and government of the time direct the great capital funds, the funding and the liquidation of National property as well as middle class and farmer fortunes.
In general, in our research of who benefits from a situation, if we see who benefits from the social situation imposed by the political parties we will discover the real rulers hiding behind the political parties and the illusion of Democracy, since in the past in every other way these rulers were evicted violently and fled fearing for their lives from the People around the earth.
For this reason, there is terror concerning real publicity and nobody, not even the (high ranking) political party members or those hiding behind them dare present themselves with their true identity and purpose among the People. A good measure to fathom the cowardice as well as the scope of their criminal activity is a simple head count of the bodyguards and all sorts of guards they employ to feel safe and powerful.
To have a true Democracy at this point, in Greece as well as anywhere in the world, the political parties will need to stand down primarily and secondarily the manner of administration must stop resemble a giant experiment laboratory: there cannot and must not be further tolerance of the phrase ‘I experiment’ or ‘I will try’ without responsibilities and guarantees that truly will not ever allow for a second error. Also, in true Democracy of equal Citizens, if the Citizens suffer damages by a policy, the same damages at the same percentage and analogy will be suffered by the one or ones that caused it, even if that concerns a matter of life and death of Citizens.
