Arthur Mas* hasn't understood yet what democracy is, or at least not the polling law-.

It may sound hard, but I see it like that. He seems to unerstand elections as a competition, where there are winners and defeateds. Maybe he should start considering to represent his voters' will.
He considers as a winner the party that gets more representatives. This approach collides with reality in such a way that all Mas can do is cry like a 10 year old boy who has lost a ball. However, we shouldn't be surprised, the same situation happened three years ago. And so does his behaviour, that should be interpreted as a message to his electorate. They lost not because of their incompetence, but because of a betrayal of ERC and the spansih. A way to justify themselves and avoid facing internal responsabilities. Quite funny when you consider the agreement with "shuemacher", is he really spanish?.


This particular misconception of politics, very common in the right parties (also pseudo-center parties), is a self defense mecanism after not having achieved their expectations. They are used to succeeding in their social and economical life. Their life project can be summarised in: marrying beautiful women, having their high class Sub, a house next to the ski resort and still think that they are the leaders because of their talent, not because where they were born. And they actually do it, they succeed in all these things. And since they are not used to losing they make such an sectacle of themselves.

Going back to this imperfect majority model, the coalition of PSC, ICV and ERC is more representative than CIU, and thus, they are in the government. They will for sure make big mistakes, huge mistakes, and still people prefer them to CIU.

What is then more democratical than three parties in the government, with different visions, different projects.
What Mas conider as a powerful government is nothing else than the inheritence of false leadership, closer to dictatorship than to democracy. There's no criticism, no discussion. Loyalty is their credo. So for the record: maybe it's time for a change in CIU.

This blog has been sponsored by the Bern prime minister: "Reichi". I hope there aren't a lot of mistakes in it. I apologise in advance.




*For those who don't know who is Arthur Mas, he is the leader of CIU (Convergència i Unio), a Catalan political party .
