“The politicians dismantle the rule of law”
“A sosse pressed the wrong button, the other wasn’t even there.”
“By mistake voted by parliament for the anonymous witnesses yesterday.”
“To our elected officials know what they are doing when they dismantle the rule of law should not be too much to ask.”
“Maybe I’m too harsh. Perhaps it is difficult for politicians who earn 66 900 dollars a month to press the right button and keep track of kvittningssystemet so that an elected majority is an elected majority, even if some members are absent.”
“all It takes is a quick look at yesterday’s votes in the chamber to be impressed by the fact that politicians even have the energy to stay awake through the endless knapptryckandet.”
“”Adult education, förslagspunkt 6” … ”road Safety, förslagspunkt 8” … ”buy-back program of the shares in Telia company AB, förslagspunkt 2” … ”Questions about the arts and film, förslagspunkt 3” …”
“No less than 63 votes were on the agenda and then forward the late afternoon was time to vote on the committee proposal was the oxygen running out and the politicians reasonably exhausted.”
“One of them was about to announce to the government that an inquiry should be set up to examine the anonymous witnesses.”
“This is an extremely lousy idea. This idea has been investigated previously and thrown in the trash for the challenging the rule of law.”
“Anyone can point out anyone for anything for any reason whatsoever. In order to have a reasonable opportunity to defend himself, a man must get to know who it is claiming things about her.”
“Say that you are prosecuted for an offence. Maybe you are previously in a financial dispute with the person who is now pointing you out as guilty.”
“Undeniably valuable information for the court, but since you don’t know who the witness is becoming fact not known.”
“There is also the question regarding how effective a system of anonymous witnesses would be in the fight against organized crime. The courts are well aware of how problematic such evidence and would grant it only marginal importance.”
“Proponents love to point out that Denmark and Norway have introduced the option without the rule of law has crackled. They tend, however, to avoid mentioning that the law proved to be so inefficient that it is almost never used.”
“But then we live in a time where law and order has emerged as one of the key policies, in addition to a policy area that tends to bring out the worst from the politicians, the proposal of retroactive criminal laws, the abolition of straffreduktion for young people and other nonsense are pouring in, there is no reason to be surprised that the anonymous witnesses, once again, have dammats of.”
“More eye-catching is that the proposal trumfades by the parliament. Admittedly, there are plenty of parties for the misery. SD has been going on for years and managed to get L and KD. And M, who have gone with the ”unbiased investigation”, which translated from politikerlingo means that the party says yes, but don’t really want to stand for it.”
“the social democrats, the green Party, the Left party and the Centre party, however, had reserved themselves against the Committee proposal.”
“There was, in other words, a majority against stupidity. An admittedly fragile, but non the less a majority.”
“Still won the proposal with the numbers 160-157. It was partly due to a sosse pressed the wrong button. And that a lot of socialists and democrats was not in place.”
“Then, according to parliamentary practice, the corresponding number of votes from the second block, abstain from voting. But then kvittningsreglerna follow the old blocksystemet it was expected. (C) agree with the government and V in this case.”
“Now is not this slip-up all over the world. A notice of this kind, the government can procrastinate for ages. The committee on justice can not forget that there will be an investigation.”
“But it is also a story about how fragile the värnet of the rule of law right now. A press on the wrong button and a little trouble with the acceptance and the damage can be great.”
