My idea for a new governance
•
by Shotan
Hi everyone, since a long time I don't write something because ideas come hard but the incident about the previous MoD gave me a topic for my new article.
Of course, it is not a program to become president, it is just some ideas for a governance in eBelgium.
So, what is the goal of my article? It is a suggestion to form a government with competences, fiability and loyalty.
The formation is the following : candidates for CP discuss with parties to seek support and when a president is elected, he forms a government with parties that agree to take part and give minister posts according to competences and their wish.
But, what about the other ones which haven't a cabinet ? They receive a special post : the opposant. Each party without a minister appoints an opposition's representative who takes part to ministerial discussion (but doesn't decides), the goal is everyone is implicated in the decision-making to seek for the best agreement.
Example : six parties (A,B,C,D,E,F). D is president and was supported by A and E that receive ministers. B want to be in the government (before or after the elections) but didn't support the winner, the president discuss and gives his agreement or not. C and F don't want to be in the government or the president doesn't want to take them, so they select one of their best members to become the representatives of their party in the opposition to take part in the discussions.
And the Congress ? Of course, it would be a matter if the government doesn't have a majority to vote some decision. That's why I suppose to involve the opposants in the discussions. It wouldn't resolve all matters about alone or opposition vote, but I remind you it is only a suggestion.
This program has big matters because every plan is not perfect.
First (thanks MCKitkat for this point), the competences are necessary but everyone is not competent for the post. So we have to make a choice : democracy of technocracy ? It is hard to make a balance between both
Second (thanks MCKitkat again), the unity is not here. With battle between PTO's and alone wolves, it is hard to make a consensus about matters. Politics is hard to do and everyone wants to win and takes power. But negotiations are an important part in the political life.
And third, the political activity is important for each party, if opposants don't play their role, the discussions can't work and crisis can appear because of governmental decisions. Everyone has to work for a better country.
According to you, what do you think about this program. Is is good or bad, incomplete or an impossible idea ?

I think I dissagree with you on the purpose of a government. To me my governmentmembers are nothing but an executive extention of myself, I never judged them on their parties just on their competence.
To have influence on gov decisions you don't have to be in the government, it's congress in the end who is in charge and here "all" parties are represented. I think forcing people into gov will have a really bad effect on a team that is supposed to run like clockwork.
It's something worth to think about though
Thanks for the answer, mr. the president.
Of course, it was just a suggestion but every president has his style to govern and to see the power according to him.
The parties are not forced to join the government, they have already chosen if they trust in the new power with the support of their candidate. The goal was just to reinforce the coherence between parties and their members appointed as ministers. Competences must prime but the choice need a concenscious analysis and trust of the candidates to avoid what we had about the MoD.

Don't know if your idea is good in the case of eBelgium. But it's nice to see someone thinking and proposing ideas in the NewsPapers. Too bad there's not many comments and debates.
it's a nice article, you can open debates. In this game it's hard to share the democracy because all is based on votes.
The decision of each player is important, if we don't like the way of the country, we can fight where we want, we can share in a newspaper we are not happy, but then, we don't take a place in one governement.
I'm against persons who are lazy in their job, except problems sure irl.
We see persons who are running for the congress only for the medal, and to put one proposal (sometimes not good)... it's not fair-play.
All are different, that's the problem. You have a part of players who are here for the fun and they don't care to put troubles ( soon the civil wars are coming 😛) and you have another part who want all things serious.
1. Competencies for the Government job?
To tell me that you need any special competencies to do the Government job; it's just like you would try to sell me a London fog.
It's pure mystification of nothing. Only morons would believe in such a thing.
2. Unity
Hardly to achieve; due to the main ideological differences.
