Quasi Judicial Bodies, Quasi Legality, And Quasi Democracy

The Electoral Commission is exemplary in fulfilling the purposes of all kinds of quasi governmental institutions. Instead of confessed criminal acts being referred for prosecution, they are referred to intermediate commissions, specifically designed to interrupt democratic and judicial process in the interests of a political caste.

A number of cases of acknowleged illegal soliciting and acceptance of political funds have come up recently (mostly from the efforts of Guido to uncover and pursue them). Yet the shields built into laws passed under New Labour are, for the most part, functioning well. An MSP has just received assurance that his admitted illegal solicitation, acceptance, and determined attempts at cover up, of law-breaking donations is absolved by repayment of the single donation upon which the case was focused.

Quasi governmental organisations in all and every field attract tax-garnered funding that should be administered by elected representatives at local and even national level.

There is distaste at the construction of a nomenklatura of vetted and acceptable-to-the-Executive appointees, swilling down their ill-gotten gains from their creeping, their misrepresentations, their conformity to self-satisfied and ill-founded ideology, displaying their amoral determination to protect members of their caste always and through any vile acts performed, their corrupt purchase of office by both cash and the further misuse of office or job powers that then is reinforcing the whole self-serving structure.

Much worse is the destruction of democratic control over our world in this headlong rush to the pig swill. There is a determined use of the open, democratic society and its institutions to destroy the future controls of that society over its enemies.
