Talk about coincidence! Among the books waiting to lay reading for a few months in one of my libraries a science fiction novel, "Light Black "by Ken MacLeod (Urania n.1545, Mondadori, April 2009), second in a trilogy fun. And I decided to read it in these days when I decided to start my appeal to the birth of a Party Bule. What is the relationship between this novel and my project? Simply said. On page. 116, in connection with the selection of representatives from area raffled , the Scottish writer puts into the mouths of his characters the following text box:
"If the neighborhood meetings elect delegates, then you know that they represent the views of maggiornanza. "
Gail was shocked. "And the views of the minority? Who would? "
Endecott cut the air with a gesture inpaziente. "Oh, well, 'the minority should still get the delegates. And nobody prevents it from becoming magggioranza in turn. I do not see why it should be a problem. In the end everything can be fixed, like you said for the draw. "
" But it's ridiculous . This is completely different, "countered Gail. "Pull a sorte è equo , anche se a volte può uscire un risultato anomalo. Con le elezioni non fai che creare il problema della minoranza, e non solo quello. Partiti, soldi, notorietà, corruzione, tanto per dirne alcuni. Che possibilità rimarrebbero alla gente comune, che possibilità avremmo di farci ascoltare, di contare davvero? Le elezioni non hanno nulla di democratico, anzi, sono chiaramente anti -democratiche. E questo lo sanno tutti.”
Anche se la vicenda si svolge su lontani pianeti della Seconda Sfera abitati da sauri, giganti, pitky e umani provenienti from Earth, to me the comment of Gail has made fighting the impression of an analysis of our political system. And of all the so-called Western democracies, of course.
Well, we can not appoint a member on the spot MacLeod honorary the growing community of supporters of Bule!
course, someone will object that this is fiction!
is true. The Nautilus also said the "invented" by Jules Verne.
