EU WAITS FOR MERKEL ! WHY ?

The former Chancellor Angela Merkel's Party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) lost 8% of its previous votes in the General Election on September 24, 2017.  Since then Merkel has failed to form a Coalition and to regain her position as Chancellor of Germany.

For two months the EU has waited for Merkel, but why ?  Simply because all important changes to EU Treaties require the "agreement of ALL EU member countries" !


Let us suppose that Malta, the smallest EU country tries to find a Leader, would the whole business of the EU stop and wait two or four months or more ?   In such a case, would the EU and Merkel not change the rule to "or ALL currently represented member countries" ! 

How long must everyone wait ?

NEW "BREXIT OR NOT" REFERENDUM ?

The Brexit Referendum in June 2016 produced an unexpected result when 52% of the electors voted for Britain to leave the European Union.   David Cameron immediately resigned and Theresa May was selected to replace him as Prime Minister.

She has wholeheartedly adopted the challenge of negotiating the conditions and the "cost" for Britain to leave the EU.   BUT, the  Reported discussions of  negotiations have not been clear, because the proposals of both sides vary continually.

Due to this the potential Anti-Brexiteer  voters  today could even outnumber the 51.9% of "leavers" who voted in June last year ! 

A new Referendum in Britain would provoke a real public debate and an evaluation of the advantages of staying-in or leaving the EU !    It could also provoke reactions from other EU countries which are not satisfied with the way the EU is performing at present ! 

There is unrest in Europe over many issues and the EU MUST change !   How much must Britain pay to get out before the EU changes ?

SEXUAL HARRASSMENT : WHAT CAN BE DONE ?

The "Weinstein Revelations" have provoked stories of similarly concealed sexual aggressions worldwide,  which have also systematically escaped prosecution.   It is necessary to understand how and why aggressors were not prosecuted.  

In order to prosecute an Aggressor evidence and witnesses are both usually necessary.   Also, the person aggressed must be prepared to testify that there was no consent. 

The absence of a witness is probably the most usual reason why a Prosecution cannot be undertaken.  There are two frequent and classic situations where a prosecution may not be possible :

a)  A young or immature girl (or boy) with little or no experience who is too afraid to confide about what happened.
b)  A woman (or man) who is aggressed at work by a "Boss" but who fears for her job.

The non-prosecution of some Aggressors quickly breeds contempt or "Habitual Aggressors", who abuse their Position of Trust.  Typical examples are Teachers, Bosses, VIPs and family relations. 

This Blog has already suggested that a "Register of Complaints" (1) should be made available in all police stations and linked to a central computer.  This would enable "timid" people, with the help of a friend, to file a report on a standard form.   This would also enable the Police to identify "Habitual Aggressors", even when they are active in a wider territory !

A sudden multitude of accusations, like that reported in the Press concerning Harvey Weinstein, could also be provoked by such a Register.  

Likewise, if MPs or VIPs are regularly "protected" from prosecution by well placed friends, such a Register could help ensure justice....... but only future experience will reveal if this is the case !

WHY NO EU LAWS TO DETER TERRORISTS ?

The Islamic State has perhaps never officially declared war against the EU, but it regularly quite proudly claims that its  terrorist agents were responsible for attacks and other atrocities in the EU or Western World !

How is it that the EU Leaders in Brussels have never managed to formulate a law to create a Unified Policy on how to combat these Extremist Islamic Terrorists ?

How can "Leaders" justify,

1)  The "Freedom of Circulation of people within EU countries" ?  
2)  Not ensure the control of External EU Frontiers ? 
3)  The absence of an automatic Death Penalty to punish  Terrorists who randomly kill civilians ?
4)  The absence of an official EU Army to fight  Islamic State Terrorists and Agents in the EU ?

The context of these questions is the growing number of refugees and immigrants which invade the EU : alas, they also include unsuspected terrorists !

At present Terrorists who are caught alive are sentenced to long terms in prison, at the expense of local Taxpayers !  While in prison these same terrorists are known to indoctrinate other, shorter term prisoners !   Is this really acceptable ? 

Should the official punishment, that any terrorist can expect, not be a strong deterrent to want to commit any crime or atrocity ?

They end the Human Right to live of their victims, but afterwards expect, even demand, the help of Advocates to protect ALL their own Human Rights as prisoners !


When will the EU Leaders and MEPs in Brussels act, to ensure safer security for the citizens that elect them ?
