I think that since PS has currently 0 negotiation power, Kepu and Kock want to keep the government together as long as possible.

They're holding the PS party hostage!

All agencies just try to optimise their own operation by whatever numbers are tracked, and surprise surprise, the whole suffers. It's basic game theory, but somehow no one seems to take it into account.

It's terrible certain people told "hey, this is what is going to go down, ok?" and nobody in power listened. Now it happened (again).

I'd say that they basically calculate the benefits of having cheap exploitable workforce and the ability to lower social security vs. the increased police budgets which probably isn't even a minus in their eyes. In addition they will get to implement draconian laws when terror attacks occur.

It's a win win win win win for our leaders.

Percy Sillitoe was booted out. But things got even worse. In 1964 MI5 were told that one of their own men had been a spy for the Russians. He was called Sir Anthony Blunt - and not only had he been high-up in MI5 - but he had gone on to work in Buckingham Palace looking after the Queen's art collection. And even worse than that he was the Queen Mother's cousin.

MI5 interrogated Sir Anthony and he calmly said that it was all true - he had been a traitor. MI5 was so embarrassed that they kept it all quiet, gave Blunt immunity from prosecution, and he carried on working at Buckingham Palace.

Reminder that Stubb also claimed that he'd consulted constitutional scholars about the pakkolait and then when the scholars were asked and documents were requested, no evidence of such consultations were evident. Stubb is a fabulist, he constructs a personal reality based on what he thinks ought to be true and then forgets to keep his doublethink going like all the other politicians. If he were a junior minister (or, heaven forbid, a woman) he'd be out of the cabinet already.

This.

No it isn't, stop trying to justify idiocy.

If you want to make yourself look like an autist then be my guest, go heckle the finance minister in a Cock. rally, but refrain from physical offenses plz.

Do you actually believe in this kind of parliamentary democracy? Considering how people in general are very unable to participate intelligently, and our head politicians are their own watchmen, I don't have much faith in it.

It seems obvious that the limits of human thinking capacity in general are overwhelmed by our modern political system. Even if you and your pal are able to discuss politics intelligently, I hope I don't have to convince you that most people are absolutely lost with everything. Look at what kinds of politicians people vote for despite them loving up over and over! Any sort of analytical approach to Finland's current situation would result in completely opposite policies to what our government is doing.

Increasing direct democracy would simplify matters a lot and remove many abstractions. And before you say "but the people are so dumb :cry:", JUST LOOK AT WHAT THE gently caress SIPILÄ & BROS ARE DOING.
