Dirdem returns power to the citizens
We are
advocating a radical shift in the balance of power between the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial of Government.
These three arms of government should have clearly defined and separate
powers that provide a system of checks and balances.
Sadly, the constitutions of most countries allow an unhealthy combination
of powers. The executive is in the driver's seat, appoints the
judiciary and is not subject to any constraint by the parliament where the
the majority that supports it can ram through all legislative proposals.
All the news items that we
comment upon should help us to demonstrate how powerless citizens are in
the face of a never-ending tide of legislation.
We try to show how the present system of government leads inevitably to
inefficient use of taxpayer's money and a steady erosion of civil
liberties.
