    tl;dr, they waited for the opposition to go on holiday and then pushed through a special resolution that required them to vote no in order to not pass. It’s shady as fuck.

      It’s almost like our institutions and political class across the developed world are acting on behalf of capital and not in the peoples best interests…

      Maybe that’s why they all collude with surveillance capitalism to violate our civil rights wholesale, and expand the surveillance state…

      These are not the actions of a government “for the people”. These are the actions of criminally corrupt tyrants and traitors who should spend the rest of their lives in prison. The fact that they won’t should tell you everything you need to know about our “democracies”.

      Huh, that sounds like there’s some next system level evaluation that can repel it then

        Well, my country’s legislative bunch has already said, that mass surveilance is against our constitution. I doubt Finland is the only country in EU to have that, so even if it passes fully, it is going to have some big hurdles ahead.

    „The Council then sent the file back to Parliament at the beginning of the vacation season, where it was difficult to secure the necessary majority to dismiss it again“

    What are we paying these people for? It should be obvious that it is Part of your duties being a member of parliament to monitor and act on stuff while being on vacation.

      When I have vacation, I don’t want to be bothered with work related stuff either. I understand their want for a vacation, and they should not be blamed. The system that allows this chicanery is at fault here.

        I don’t want to be bothered while on vacation either, but if something happens at work that needs my specific attention someone will find me.

        For fuck’s sakes we can’t be taking server rooms more seriously than democracy.
