🚨DEMOcracy = rule of the people.
BUREAUcracy = rule of unelected elites.
Guess which one the EU looks like today? 🇪🇺

The European Union is not DEMOcracy – rule of the people – but rather BUREAUcracy – rule of the unelected bureaucrat!
“Political experts confirm that authoritarianism is rising globally and the number of liberal democracies is shrinking.” #democraticdeficit
Democracy, you in danger, girl https://t.co/ZRYqu5Xcwf
It begs the question why any of us bother responding to @scotgov consultations when they clearly have no intention of taking account of responses when developing their policy agenda. Some voices clearly matter more than others. #DemocraticDeficit
Thread 🧵 Response to Conversion Practices Consultation Report
What is Conversion practices?
"Any treatment, practice, or effort that aims to change, suppress, or eradicate a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity."
If you think the @scotgov has kicked a Conversion Therapy Ban into the long grass or rather waiting for the UK Government to enact it then think again.
Between Jan & Apr 2024, @scotgov held a consultation on proposed legislation to End Conversion Practices in Scotland. Before even reviewing outcomes, @scotgov reaffirmed its commitment in the 2024-25 Programme for Government: “We will prepare legislation for introduction to the Scottish Parliament should a UK wide approach not be achievable.”
With a #DemocraticDeficit and a #RepresentationDeficit so glaring, with the #PPEU being essentially a mouthpiece for the scandal-ridden & politically extinct (0.03% in the 2025 #Bundestag election) #PPDE, there is an extremely palpable risk to the... 12/14
🧵on the #DemocraticDeficit & #RepresentationDeficit of the @EuropeanPirates:
After the ruinous #EU election of 2024 that lost the #PPEU 3 of its 4 MEPs, we're still in the dark w.r.t. the party's action in the @Europarl_EN. We sometimes see posts extolling... 1/14
@EdwardJDavey Some actual facts…..
GE 4th July 2024:
LibDems 3.5 million votes and 72 MPs.

On the latest #CurtinsCast Emma Dawson, @Dyrenfurth and @KosSamaras discussed one of the themes of @AlboMP's National Press Club address - tackling the so-called #democraticdeficit and declining faith in government and institutions spurred by extreme left and right politics. Listen to Episode 16:

Technocracy without democracy is not neutrality, it’s disenfranchisement in a suit.
The people of Europe deserve agency, not just “stability.” #DemocraticDeficit #EUReform #PEF
Pleased to have the resounding endorsement of @westmidspolfed Fed Reps who have re-elected me to the Branch Board for the 3rd successive time.
My wish was to stand for Branch Chair for a 3rd time, at present, that isn’t possible due to recent proceedings 🙄

@RavenNole @ArmandDoma No, that is not true. The world has become less democratic last decade, the #democraticDeficit, but Europe overall has done fine with exceptions like Hungary.
The US has been dramatically less democratic, and Turkey off the cliff.
Our elections are free and fair.
Quite incredible admission in @Edinburgh_CC Finance Committee today from an NHS officer that, despite what all parties agreed, NHS Lothian has no interest re-negotiating the Scheme of Integration. No recognition of democracy and no sign of partnership working. #democraticdeficit
A statement from me on the attempts by Surrey County Council to evade democratic accountability by postponing the 2025 local elections.

There’s no shortcut to rebuilding #trust in #politics. We need honest leaders delivering progressive policies underpinned by deep democratic consensus. #PoliticsInCrisis #DemocraticDeficit
Tories almost overtaking Labour (it’ll happen soon) and yet both main parties *still* polling under 30% is symptomatic of a political system that is in deep trouble.
@alisonclareteal @Greensinexile @TheGreenParty @greens_can @RupertRead I certainly believe the growth-obsessed neoliberal economic system is the cause of #ClimateCrisis #BiodiversityCrash #DemocraticDeficit #WideningInequality
But it also seeks to divide us young v old, men v women, gender v sex, white v black/brown
We need solidarity v billionaires
.@TheGreenParty should be campaigning on #ClimateCrisis #BiodiversityCrash #Inequality #DemocraticDeficit
Instead they're very UNdemocratically suspending/expelling members who disagree w their policies on gender.
As #GreensInExile we'll be outside their conference tomorrow
@CaledoniaLad Very Interesting read, & link to SNP survey particularly so 👌 !
#HopeIsNotAStrategy ,but turns out SNP may have one Hope :
Welsh #BinFire goes throughout UK Labour by 2026; leading to Electorate failing to turn out for SNP; Lab or Tories
@RMcAlpineOrg #DemocraticDeficit
