astonished citizens attending the show these days given the Popular Party of the Balearic Islands off the circumstance of having to choose a president for grouping Palma. In short: one of the candidates want to vote all members and the other members argued that choosing a number of delegates and these in their new leader. Also in a nutshell: free universal suffrage ensures that members express their will without intermediaries, while the system favors the dome electors of a party misrepresents the collective will through the barter of favors between individuals and families territorial and / or patronage, so that the leadership can control the outcome of elections through the procedure very old do ut des. Between the method of the commissioners and the recently implemented by the PP in Calvia, in which all partners have been able to express their wish and see it fulfilled, the citizen knows very well what is the most democratic.
But, after all, one contemplates these facts for what they are: stories from a foreign party (for oneself but also to the public) will not change their ways if not for short-term convenience. PSOE also tested at one time the primaries, but I must say that professional politicians are soon disabused of that novelty, not the top management ensured adequate control of the process. Today, universal suffrage, open lists and participation in the traditional parties are just a memory-if they are, at all levels and territorial structures. People are aware of the constitutional requirement that parties have a democratic internal functioning, but many resigned to that in this as in so many other things, the Constitution is worthless.
therefore attract as much attention the little echo, perhaps due to a disbelief logic, which received the electoral process began this month in Union Progreso y Democracia to celebrate the end of November of their first Congress, which all bodies will be renewed and amended and will define the policy paper to guide its action at least in the next triennium. In many parts of Spain have already held elections for delegates to the Congress, and soon will close at the national level and published their results. UPyD militants have read the proposals of the candidates, heard at the meeting and have chosen through open and secret voting lists to which of them have earned more trust. It was enormously satisfying to hear at the meeting for that purpose was held in Palma last weekend when some militant calling for a ballot to replace the filled and he brought home, "because I heard this girl and I liked it" . Democracy in its purest form, with unforeseeable consequences in the old parties, like the surprise election of any candidate almost unknown among the members, only through the power of ideas and persuasion. Unforeseeable consequences in a few games in which spontaneity, sincerity and appeal principles and not the interest of the franchise motor life and passed away far too long.
Open lists are just one of the measures advocated UPyD to promote a higher quality of our democracy, along with the replacement of the district by the state or provincial, and defend many of the single division that corresponds with the character National Congress of Deputies, respectively measures allow greater autonomy for the elected representatives with respect to the executive party and, therefore, a more democratic selection, and effective equality of all votes, so it was impossible that as it happens Today, the PNV multiply by six the number of seats in UPyD having received fewer votes. Overcoming the poor democracy, pro forma reach all the inner levels of the game: in our Congress in November, delegates elected by the same procedure open single list of 150 militants who later formed in our deliberative body, the Political Council without these effects is relevant to the community from candidates, as we believe corresponds to a national body. All members, not just delegates to the Congress, direct vote by electronic ballot the team that will lead the party in the coming years from the Board, through as many candidates as members wish, because, unlike what happens in other parties, in any phase of this organic renewal applicants is required signatures or endorsement. Clearly the difference pseudoelectorales processes in the old parties, which almost invariably will be resolved to their respective domes by direct appointment by delegates or media coverage. So obvious that the mere possibility that it sets an example makes some prefer silence or distort. But facts are stubborn, and who we embarked two years ago in this adventure of democratic regeneration, too. Digital Journalist. World-Day Baleares. Liberal Spain.
