The Spanish do not make bad managers pay electorally, and that is why they get worse
As Spaniards do not expect governors to give us accounts, they do not. How are accounts expected? Not voting bad management. So we have many slaves tied up by double chains: imposed and voluntary. Being imposed is an electoral and a political party law, which has made our country an oligarchy of political bosses, heads of political parties, who are not “freely” elected by the electorate, but by party members representing less than 5% of the population. The second slavery is voluntary. It stems from voters not having critical rationality and hegemonic parties (PSOE and PP) take advantage of this. The electoral menu is short: PSOE, PP, and separatists. Yet most Spaniards do not penalise bad managers, and still vote “their” party despite its bad management. A change in vote is minimum as if governors were priests of a religion instead of public administrators. If they are still voted, why should they change their attitude, account for their actions, change electoral and political party laws when they take us prisoner? If a neighbours community’s administrator is inefficient and clumsy, if expenses do not stop increasing and the community is in debt, something would be done to change it. So why is nothing done to change a bad government? It is absurd and irrational. It is our fault that governments never change attitude. By voting the party we voted before, no-one will ever give accounts. It is stupid voting whoever our father voted because it does not make us a better son or daughter, but anti-patriotic, and reality changes, as do parties. Today’s PSOE is nothing like it was 20 years ago, but despite realising this, many still vote it. The same applies to PP. Voting is moral action because it affects everyone. “Tactical” voting is immoral. No-one should vote bad managers because opportunists take advantage to remain in power. Changing one’s electoral view is a sign of intelligence; electoral fidelity is clumsiness. Our irrationality when voting means we have a European exceptional nature where voters change bloc. Since Zapatero arrived, in only 17 years public debt has tripled; our unemployment figures are a scandal, pensions are unsustainable, running costs do not stop growing with rising public sector growth. The middle class is disappearing, private activity diminishes, the State increases to meet separatist support by prioritising investments in their lands, and to make trade unions happy (who protest when electricity rose with PP, but not with PSOE when it is 10-fold higher) and squanders patronage subsidies. Taxes go up, energy costs soar. As they are so “progressive”, they shut down nuclear power stations and buy energy from neighbouring France from its 59 nuclear power stations. Spain has no energy plan, inflation soars, business productivity worsens, some businesses close down, unemployment rises. What is this government doing? It remains in power as much as possible by increasing debt. In the worst case, if it loses the elections, as the economic situation is a disaster, then the next government will be unable to put it right, and will soon lose again and PSOE will return to power. The mass media, education and propaganda are in PSOE’s hands with separatists in its zones. As Rajoy was unconcerned about values and had a complex if they called him pro-Franco, he left things that Zapatero destroyed in exactly the same way, and did not drastically cut expenditure, taxes continued to rise and spiralled towards a material and moral abyss. Debt is unpayable, educational/moral degradation is serious, independence of powers is inexistent, illegal immigration is a grave problem, separatist pressure is unsustainable, totalitarian laws are not constitutionally passed according to the Constitutional Court. We have a toy army, international irrelevance, no legal security and squatters. We are ruined because many voluntary slaves vote the same no matter what governors do. No punishing by voting bad managers favours the tyrant. Who are bad managers? Whoever lie and put us in debt, worsen our living conditions; put taxes up; eliminate freedom; make us live worse and less happy; increase unemployment, discriminate those who do not vote them, steal; lead to a country’s confrontation and break it.
