article in The Confidential:
Spain begins 2009 with a severe economic recession and political and institutional crisis, which exacerbated the distrust and sense of orphans in our society. Few believe in the ability of the ruling class to captain the overcoming of the problems, but few venture initiatives without being thaumaturgic, could restore the trust that must underpin any attempt to recover the city mood. It is possible that this is due largely to the idea as sacred by the political class that once held a general election, everything is unshakable until the next elections.
Refused and one of the principles of democracy, which is the dynamic functioning of the institutions, which include the Parliament, but not only that to ensure the public interest, replacing, where appropriate, to governments, if we consider that do not fulfill their duties.
The "English democracy" is a unique political system, which is based distrust in the society with the creation of a model partitocrático impervious to change and prone to patronage, but hard to admit, the prevailing order is an updated version of the old cacique policies that have shaped, seamless, almost all the constitutional experience of Spain.
The web of institutional setup, accompanied by springs available to public authorities in a modern state, however weak it may be, gives managers security policy, that is enhanced by the patience and submission of the company little or nothing demanding their rights.
is true that the reality described has been consolidated because there has been more than enough resources, both internal and external, to make this possible: from the entry into the European Union 1985, various English governments have provided public funds in amounts unknown in Spain, part of which is dedicated to the modernization of the country's infrastructure and some, not inconsiderable, is dedicated to nurturing the emerging powers of the regions to build a constellation of quasi-state organizations that have no similarities with countries close to us. Spain has lived his version of the roaring twenties, with a dangerous neglect of the traditional virtues of thrift, prudence and fairness in public administration, also in private, now miss.
The huge debt that will fall-and-falling on the shoulders of the English for the Crown government decisions in many previous neglect, but responsible not have foreseen the extent of the storm, is the great notice that the bread and circus policy dominating the English scene comes to an end, not without resistance from the main protagonists. These days we are witnessing the spectacle of the regional funding allocation in which all receive the head of government assurances that what he is doing well. That reminds me of that old aunt, in her last illness, he received his nephews and every one of them said 'everything is for you ", and all hell broke his death of God is Christ in the family.
Nobody wants that to Spain and would be regrettable that the reactions occur when you appear disorderly conduct, for the worsening social crisis. Our society, historical experience and education probably would not take even 20% of the disorders that have lived in other countries, cases of France and Greece, without falling into the authoritarian temptation. The cross of our little democratic experience is the ease with which any proposal can turn to the democratic order unfairly blamed for the ills that afflict us.
In a normal democratic system output to a situation as described would be a change of government or early elections, but this second option, with the current model, would be an unnecessary extension of the disease that afflicts us.
therefore desirable that the institutions of the regime started its opening, helping to set up a government whose primary tasks would be managing the economic crisis and proposed constitutional and electoral reforms needed to overcome the political sclerosis, calling for elections within a maximum period of two years. This way would begin the road back to the English sovereignty, for true democratic regeneration.
