Most of them live on the other side of town, and have no clue what our area is like because they have no reason to come over here

But they are voted in by the county correct?

Not really, sort of

If the seats ever appear on the ballet, and they can be recalled, then they are elected. There isn't a 'sort of'.

Weither they run opposed or not, are ever recalled, or the variation of term limits, is another story.

Yeah, I looked it up. There's 5 seats that get voted on, and everything downstream of that is appointees. Anywho...

In the netherlands decicions like zoning and permits are just government jobs, the politics never touch it unless its to change a local law, none of those positions are voted for. I wish there was accounability for these small time local power mongers with their arcane minutia.

I guess voting on every position is a bit too extreme as well, you would be at the voting booth every day and get no work done hehe

That's why you make everything as local as possible, that way only the people effected in that small area need to discuss and vote on the matter

Start a Petition.

If anything there has been a trend in making things bigger over here, smaller ciies merging with bigger ones .. you know .. for saving some money

Get enough signatures and it has to go on the ballet

Referendums were outlawed I believe lmao

Referendums are kill now, they removed it like a couple of months ago, there was litteraly 0 referendums that went into the favor of the government so they just nixxed it. Not like they were held to the outcome anyway, they alwasy were more like polls to see 'how do you feel'.

Here referendums are still strong

Hell in my county/city alone 5 or 6 tax referendums were cut down

Yeah, it's in the state constitution that it has to appear on the ballot if there's enough signatures

And my state we got enough signatures this yea the 'sancuary laws' are on the ballet

Norway's government don't like referendums as the people always vote wrong

"Vote wrong" lol wut?

aka vote anti the ruling party wishes

That's the point, faggots lmao

Nice, for us its more like a virtue signal, sometimes when there is enough attention the signatures will be presented to a minister but mostly they are accepted via an intern who files them in a circular formed archive bin.

Haha, yeah that is what the dutch did, vote wrong, so no more referendums

It's a vote, not a math test

At this point Paris is just a meme. We can easily guess the perpetrators based on statistical consistency.

The election observer: "Never seen a ellection as undemocratic as the Swedish"
OSSE observers call the Swedish election the most undemocratic he have ever seen in his work as a observer for the OSSE.
