    Stage 1) Give your reasons and terms in place of public interests
    Stage 1.2) Hint at security considerations.
    Stage 1.3) Point out that report can be used against government and public interest.
    Stage 1.4) Suggest another report or study.
    Stage 2) Discredit evidence of earlier reports. Claim certain findings are contradictory.
    Stage 2.1) Undermine recommendations. Due to above discreditations.
    Stage 3) There is no need for fundamental rethink of current policies. Broadly speak that things endorse current policies
    Stage 4) Discredit person who made the report. Accuse of greed for financial gain, publicity, or higher station.

    I recall a radio interview with actor Paul Eddington (aka Jim Hacker) a few years ago. He said that the show had been a hit in Denmark, which led to an invitation to the cast to visit the country. They had even laid a red carpet from the aircraft on arrival! Inside the terminal, one of their hosts asked "How did you know?" "Know what?" he replied. "That it was like this in Denmark?"

      @@dromankass8655 I'd say that is one of the best things about our societies. Look at the craziness that happened in the US over the last four years. Imagine if every excess and daft policy tweet would have made it into practice without a moderating force of bureaucrats in between? And then the swing back this year, when the majority of those policies were revoked.
      It's fine to course-correct the tanker that is the nation between elections, whether we need to steer left or right for a bit. But doing about-turns because the other party got elected would lead us going in circles! It's a good thing that big change takes time, and we cannot revoke and implement massive, sweeping changes every four years as the political winds happen to change. How would you ever plan your future in such a society?

      Most govt officials are also like that. They climb ranks, theyve got to.

      'it is almost like polliticians watched this show..and learned how to do politics from it..' - Whereas, of course, the writers observed politics, talked to politicians and civil servants, and wrote the programme on that basis.

    • @EarlJohn61
      @EarlJohn61 Год назад

      Totally unworkable...
      If you have a community of more than about 144 souls, you cannot have a true democracy. It just isn't practical to get everyone's opinion on every major issue. You have to go with representative democracy where a group selects someone to represent them (and then hopes they do so correctly)
      A slightly better system is having electorates that have six (6) sitting members... Every election (assume a 4 year electoral cycle) the 3 members who have been seated for 8 years stand for re-election. In a 2 major party system that gives you "1 for us, 1 for you & 1 for either of us or perhaps a third party"
      If this were to be implemented in Australia, ideally you would have something like :
      13 seats (78 members)+ in NSW
      11 seats (66) Vic
      9 seats (54)- Qld
      4 seats (24)+ WA
      3 seats (18) SA
      1 seat (6) Tas &
      1 seat (6) Territories
      For a total of 42 seats (252 members)
      _[noting that + NSW & WA both should have a half seat extra & - Qld is a touch OVER represented]_

      In some places you could. But the fact is the battery tech isnt good enough for the world to use green tech. So they will find another excuse. And most of the world isnt sunny or windy enough to produce enough green electricity for cities with modern tech. For example it Isnt sunny enough in germany or uk to use solar for more than a minority % of energy and is far from the equator. In wind world many places on earth arent windy enough on average to power towns and cites. Plus you cant use wind turbines in high elevations because the air denisty is to low and the trubine wont spin. Plus if you cant use green tech within a 100 miles of your city your going to use more green energy to transport the energy from the solar pannel or wind turbine than the green tech produces. So that the green energy is all used up before a drop of energy makes it to the city or town that needs it. Plus even where it make since like solar pannels next to Los angles lots of sun close to the equator. The battery storage tech cant store enough energy for a big city to draw off of during the day much less overnight or a cloudy week. So we desperately need better or new green techs. Unless DOD and NASA finally figrue out space solar because then there is no night clouds. And the microchip the usa highway sytem the internet all started in DOD and DARPA. We still need a battery And it looks like the Lithium batteries just arent ever going to be good enough to power cities and towns. We need a new material. Plus mining for the materials like lithum that make green tech causes pollution anyway in strip mining
