The people's revolt about the parliament's vote last week is still growing. A lot of blogs are publishing disparaging comments and personal reflections about individual parliament members. There is only one parliament member that stood out and voted NO and she is now being honoured as a heroine. The party whip is a tool that became very apparen in the internal debate and a lot of people are disappointed that although we have possibility to list individual parliament members during voting there is still a great lack of personal standpoints. Maybe this can be somewhat refreshing for the individual listing? There are probably lots of individuals that have more interest in a personal attention or gain rather than being a true representative.
One thing that is bothering me is the belief that all FRA agents/computer analysts from now and forever on will NOT be able to bribe or being able to buy pieces of information from. To avoid this - we would need at least as big control agency and just imagine the costs for that! The government has entered a path into a less brighter future. The tolerance against critics is low - it was published one example today where a party communication manager tried to interfere with a private company on a management-to-management basis in order to quiet a blog that was linked to their company. The road to a society where freedom of speech will be a controlled one is no longer in the future - this is a first small piece of taste!
The objective given for this interference on highest political level was a fear that the private company's brand would become hurt. Such a "considerate action" from the political world?
