Lymphoma And Ringworm

evening news interview with Chancellor of the Pirate Party in 2030

The following is not part of my thesis, but rather a fun utopia. Background: The pirates are first arrived in 2030 at all levels in politics. First, they have a nationwide, voluntary Liquid Democracy started instance. How, then interviews the evening news to see with their top personnel?

issues of the day: Good evening, Madam Chancellor!
Mrs. Graf (Pirate Party, Chancellor): Good evening, Mr. Buhrow!

issues of the day: Mrs. Graf, has opposed the construction of new electricity transmission grid € II in several states considerable opposition formed. 173 000 people yesterday Tweets protest with the hash tag # € II no discontinued. This is but a clear sign. How will they decide?
Chancellor Well, firstly I would like to point out that there are about 370 000 Tweets for the construction of the power grid was € II. I will do this but can not decide alone. In the nationwide Liquid Instant expires next week a vote at this proposal. Our party - the pirates - you're right place, since the party congress in Munich in 2020 for the new power line. But of course we will add the decision of the general population. I can only urge all off next week and log in again to vote.

issues of the day: But this would not be a loss of face for your government if you do not, the new power to enforce?
Chancellor : Yes - because they are right, that's us uncomfortable. You have probably followed yesterday in the live stream of the Cabinet meeting my government. This is a topic that many of my ministers and party members emotionally aroused. We need this power line to the clean solar electricity from the South. But the theme is all German. I may in the government not make the mistake of seeing only our own interests, just because "we" in this legislature in power. We have been so chosen to eliminate this form of "particular-democracy." Germany takes decisions that last longer and not by the next government will be lifted as in the year 2010, the nuclear phase-exit than the FDP still existed.

issues of the day: I've snapped yesterday in the board meeting of her party - even in the pieces flew. Similarly, in the forum, the wiki and the mailing lists of their party. Where are they now?
Chancellor : you know that there are in our party a very open culture of political debate. With all the passion to lose some members - as in real life - sometimes the patient. But this is part of a vibrant democracy, simply. Where our party stands for content, but you can clearly see from the multiple choices in our inner-party vote Liquid feedback system, and continue on applicable federal congress resolution of 2020.

issues of the day: you must € prevail II yes in any case, it has adopted the European Commission, the European network overall capacities?
Chancellor : The people of Bavaria also are not opposed to electricity, but the actual route planning. This, at least they write in their blogs and the many protest messages that have reached us in the chancellery. We will find a compromise.

issues of the day: And where is the compromise?
Chancellor : Well, Mr. Buhrow. I can not know alone. The track design is to complex to be so as an individual or government to overlook. In the event that we fail with the current proposal, the Ministry of Economy will publish all the documents during the planning phase. We would also repeat the route planning. This time, but then after the pirate principle. As part of our ongoing anyway "open governance" initiative will then be in a (adhocracy) Wiki found together with the citizens of a new circuit design, the havoc the least damage. Country by country. We invite everyone to collaborate and ...

issues of the day: Would not you proceed from the outset so?
Chancellor : Yes - this was a mistake. You are right. As an excuse I can give is that we have taken over the planning of our Red-Red-Green government, which has acquired neither participation nor the liberties of individual citizens to be too much worry. Do you know what we found when he took office in the ministries?

issues of the day: What?
Chancellor : Faxmaschienen!

issues of the day: Well, second or quickly to our theme. Yesterday it was in Stuttgart street protests against the Stromnetzbau, as in the park for like a few trees must be [Note the author: I - at the very place designed * G *] . Although the event was entirely peaceful, there was a sudden deployment of the police with pepper spray and water cannons. Several injuries were the result. Who bears responsibility for it?
Chancellor : The police operation is the states. However, you are right. We as a government, of course, always the responsibility when people go in a political debate to the streets.

issues of the day: Now fine words, but that nobody minds. What should happen now?
Chancellor : In consultation with our Pirates of Stuttgart, we initiate an investigation of incidents of crowdsourcing. We invite all citizens to upload their video of the events on the open portal of the Federal Prosecutor for police crimes. All individuals are then invited to help to sift through the extensive material and to identify perpetrators of violence in the police. A device attached there forum and wiki help documentation. The prosecution will then embark on the basis of evidence gathered the normal recourse in the courts.

issues of the day: But this can prevent a lasting power of the police?
Chancellor : now - we hope by a higher detection rate to a deterrent effect. If necessary, we need to think about the increase for a year now introduced nationwide numbers marking the police yet.

issues of the day: Do you think that you of all these crises can once again be re-elected?
Chancellor : Even I make mistakes. Whether it's enough for re-election to decide for us known as the party members in a nationwide letter-based ballot. But yes, I am optimistic.

issues of the day: Finally the question: Both the CDU and the SPD have failed in the regional elections in North Rhine-Westphalia at the 5 percent hurdle. Worried they?
Chancellor No. Democracy is changing

issues of the day. Thank you for the interview!
Kanzerlin: happy again, I'm still your audience for 30 minutes in the chat.
