Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Your party colleagues in Dublin have already done that by siding with the shit (FF/PD/FG) over the Bin Tax -so don't act all surprised when your buddies want to corrupt the system even more.
"Race against Waste"? - For fucks sake
FF Party will almost certainly rig this election.
thanks for that report.....
the biggest issue that really hasn't been pointed out is that the code won't be realeased cos its commercial property as pointed out to me by others
hmm newspapers , i don't know whether to bother with them, its sometimes most interesting page in them is the letters to the editor the only place where intelligent and revealing analysis of a subject pops up
joe mccarthy wrote a good letter about his attempts to get info re code through the foi, the
department replied patronisingly saying all his request were answered to upmost ability but that meant they continued to refuse to release the code.....
as explained to me its to do with important public info and services being controlled by corporations.... i never know whether to write letters to the editor. i have done before and some have been printed,but im hesitent to think someone with far more info on this subject would write..... (that shouldn't stop me) but you don't want to make a statement without it being true.... and that would take exhaustive research....
I certainly agree that the whole fiasco regarding e-voting is worrying for the integrity of our voting system and fully concur that as it stands now, it is wide open to abuse, particularly from the points onwards where all the votes are brought together and 'counted'
The possibilities for rigging the election at this point onwards in the count are endless.
However, since the whole country is now thinking and about e-voting and democracy in general and think we have to ask ourselves, can 1 person really represent 20,000 people.? Is this democractic? And the answer in my humble opinion is a big No. In fact's it absurd to think it can and the fact that you can't even recall one's representative nor hold them to account is another major glaring hole in the process.
Now some people might argue it's better than nothing and sure what's else can we do, -but we should accept the fact it is NOT the be all and end all. And before you solve a problem, you have to first recognise that you have one.
