https://avoimenkoodinmaailma.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa Everybody wants to be the rulers of the nations. But that thing causes the problems with private life, and that's why the power is easier to use out of the public eye, and sometimes in the history have been happening that the real users of power have been hiding in somewhere at the palace. Cardinal Richelieu might be the most well-known user of the power, and that very notorious person hide in the back of the king Louis XIII of France and breathed things to the ears of the king. But sometimes people have thoughts that the orders for the actions, what Richelieu made, came from the King, And sometimes those things came from the head of cardinal, who mentioned that his own political enemies were planned something against the king, and that caused that they executed by the royal order.  Louis XIII  like other kings in that time was not a Democrat, and he was one of the most notorious and powerful people in the histo...

The Parliament of Finland (Picture I) https://avoimenkoodinmaailma.blogspot.com/p/how-to-become-popular-in-politics.html Kimmo Huosionmaa Many people might think, that this is the re-take of another text, what I wrote yesterday, but the reason, why somebody becomes popular in the political field is the very good question, and that's why I write it here. First, the person, who wants to be popular, must make speeches about the things, what people want to hear. And sometimes that is far away from realistic opportunities, what the state can give to the voters. There are always limits, what the state can pay because the national economy would and property of the state give limits, for what the government can buy, and what kind of taxes it must take from people. If there would be big payments, must the state increase level of taxes to fix the budgets. Also, friends in the press and media would help the politician to get the opinions known to the large group of people. So p...

(Picture I) Kimmo Huosionmaa The problem with democracy is that the most popular person would be selected to the head of the state. And that's why Hungarian prime minister can work against rest of European Union. The most problematic thing is that if we want to use censorship against those persons, we might make them more popular than without censorship. And the thing, what makes them so popular is, that they have straight principles, how to handle things and make their nation proud. And why people would not be allowed to be proud of their nation and history? Every nation has right to be proud, but that would be very devastating, because of the nationalism have sometimes turned to militarism and totalitarianism. There have been writings that left-wing persons are working against democracy, and this is not very far away from the truth. When we are thinking about socialistic, or "realistic socialistic" governments, they are always worked against democracy and d...

Kimmo Huosionmaa When the president of the United States of America will send the congratulations for the president of Russia after the election, and he acts against the advice of national security, we must say that this person acts always against somebody’s opinion. Presidents would never do right things, what pleases everybody, and if Trump would follow that advice, somebody would say, that this man was under control of his advisory. The reaction of the action to not say congratulations for Putin would be that this would make deeper the conflict between those superpowers. Actions what Trump has made in the case to transfer embassy of the United States to Jerusalem is of course not pleasant for the international community. But if Trump would follow the line of the international community, the voters in the United States would say that this kind of actions is made for collecting popularity from other states. And when we are talking about the position of Jerusalem, that is sa...
