Motsvar fra en som stemmer på ett Mikke Mus parti – Å ønsker at partiet hans gjør litt ‘Mickey Mousing’

I disse dager leser jeg og leser jeg enda mer om hvordan Venstre (V) og Kristlig Folkeparti (KrF) er Mikke Mus parti. Små dritt partier som bare ødelegger for Fremskrittspartiet (FrP) og Høyre (H).

Når jeg leser at Venstre herjer så lurer jeg på hva Tybring-Gjedde forventet av demokratiet vårt (Nettavisen, 2015). Har han glemt hvordan han gikk til angrep på Arbeiderpartiet og samarbeidspartnere Sosialistisk Venstreparti(SV) og Senterpartiet (SP). Der måtte innimellom AP godta økende bondeoppgjør og lokalpolitisk ideer fra Senterpartiet, å andre viktige kampsaker for SV.

Så når velgerne er nå sinte og frustrerte over Venstre og KrF så burde de klare ved neste valg å få flere representanter og kanskje flertall uten støtteparti. De trenger 84,5 representanter. For å ha 50% av stemmene og dette ville være totale på 169 representanter som velges ved valget til Stortinget.

Høyre har etter forrige valg: 48 representanter.

Fremskrittspartiet har etter forrige valg: 29 representanter.

Dette er tilsammen: 77 representanter.

Venstre har: 9 representanter.

Kristligfolkeparti: 10 representanter.

Totalt blir dette 19 representanter.

Noe som blir 77 for dagens regjering.

Støttepartiene er 19 idag.

Dette blir 96 representanter, noe som gir klart flertall noe en regjering trenger.

Så jeg blir provosert når jeg som en Mikke Muser blir kalt for ett dritt parti. Litt ønsker jeg at mine forbundsfeller gir misttillit til den mest udugelige ministeren siden Victor Norman(Høyre), husker dere han? Ja, jeg snakker om Anundsen(FrP) som ikke skammer seg over å bryte avtaler og holde tett. Som spiller egne spill og spiller konge på haugen. Ikke noe slags medmenneske en gang slik som Storberget (AP) i samme posisjon. Greit at Kristin Halvorsen(SV) var en forferdelig minister under forrige regjering, men ingenting mot Anundsen som står i full storm å klager på alle under en, enn å seg selv litt i speilet.

Men jeg er blitt godt skolert. Du skal elske dine fiender. Vise det andre kinnet til. Hvis fienden skyter og du skyter. Hvem er egentlig den gode? Å hvem er den onde? For den som blir truffet av streifskuddet har det ingenting å si. Du blir skutt av ei kule og skadet. I en slik sammenheng er det egentlig det samme hvem som skjøt!

Så hva er min ide. Istedenfor å felle denne regjeringen. Noe som egentlig støttepartiene har mulighet til. Støttepartiene kan løse dette på bedre måter enn det. For å lære noe til disse nye ved makten og vise hva en kan gjøre.

Det har seg slik at et handler ikke om hvordan kort man har på hånden, men hvordan man spiller dem.

Bondevik II regjeringen:

“Mindretallsregjeringers behov for å søke støtte hos andre på Stortinget kan gi mer langsiktighet? Det er en utradisjonell tanke. Maktutredningen (1998-2003) pekte på det stikk motsatte:

«Mindretallsparlamentarismen styrker Stortingets muligheter til å overstyre regjeringen og underminerer regjeringens evne til å sørge for langsiktig stabilitet i politikken. Den fører til at Stortinget griper inn med større tyngde i selve den utøvende makt»” (Kommunal-rapport 2014).

Derfor istedenfor å gjøre som KrF og Venstre har lovet i avtalen. Siden FrPs sine ministere ikke vil følge avtaler og regjerer på egenhånd. Bør Venstre og KrF la alle saker i perioder gå direkte inn til Stortinget og søker om ekstra støtte, uten å vite om støttepartiene vil godta lovene eller reformene, kamp-sakene eller saksgangen til regjeringen. For å la dem kjempe om gunst å jobbe på egenhånd. Uten støtte. La dem seile alene med sitt mindretall.

Siden vi er jo en del av Mikke Mus partier som ikke har regjert siden Jan Pettersen, Bondevik og Sponheim hadde makt med støtte fra FrPs Carl I. Hagen. Nå lærer FrP kanskje en lekse. De kan ikke leke med makt. Det lærte også Jens Stoltenberg nektet kongen å dele ut krigskorset i 2011. Da tok han for mye makt å lekte presidental regent og ikke statminister som regjerer i kongen i statsråd. Som vi skal være stolt over.

Dette bør FrP spesielt innse og også alle internett trollene på Nettavisen, VG og Dagbladet som karakterisere Venstre og KrF som malplasserte mini-partier som bør gå til helvete for å gjør livet vanskelig for FrP og Høyre. For sannheten er enkel. Vensre og Kristligfolkeparti kan om de vil. Gjøre livet deres enda mer vanskelig. De kan brenne broene og la FrP og Høyre bygge en ny bro over eleven Kwai.

Så om Venstre og Kristligefolkeparti er smarte. Så kan de torpedere regjeringen. Ikke gi mistillit til Anundsen uansett hvor ubegripelig lite flink han er og hvor lite skjønn han klarer å vise. Hvis dette hadde vært en avis-artikkel så hadde sikkert kastet denne også inn i flammene, fordi han er så sykt forståelse full om andres meninger.

Mikke Mus partiene kan om de vel. La ting gå sakte, få regjeringen til å oppleve at deres reformer og lovendringer ikke blir gjennomført. Sakke ned farten på arbeidet. Ikke at jeg ønsker regjeringskrise eller få Arbeiderpartiet sine 55 representanter sammen med SV sine 7 representanter og 10 representanter fra Senterpartiet. Som med sine 72 representanter ikke har nok til å kunne ha flertall heller.

Jeg har skrevet nok nå til disse trollene som har irritert med i dagesvis. Som en mann som hører til ett såkalt Mikke Mus parti la meg si dette til slutt: Mickey Mousing var betegnelsen i begynnelsen på sammenhengen mellom lyd og bilde – slik som de første tegne filmene til Walt Disney – der musikken vil reagerer til handlingen i selve klippet.

På tide at Erna Solbergs samarbeidsregjeringen mellom Høyre og Fremskrittspartiet, får smake sin egen medisin når man ikke følger spillereglene. Å klager på støttepartiene! Så bør de kanskje få en smekk. Selv om en er blitt lært å behandle og ta det andre kinnet til. Men kanskje vise disse trollene og lære dem hva ubetydelig i politisk sammenheng betyr for noe. Å være ett møkkaparti og jeg vil at de skal gjøre litt Mickey Mousing. Så mens regjeringspartiene spiller opp musikken. Da kan de endelig oppleve ingen handling fra sine støttepartier. Siden de er jo tross alt bare Mikke Mus partier.

Regner ikke med at mange vil like dette og like mange vil hate dette. For å si det slik: jeg har ikke likt hvordan det partiet jeg har stemt på hele mitt liv er blitt karakterisert. Jeg har ikke kanalisert hva jeg tenker om FrP og deres menneskesyn: det eneste jeg vil si nå på slutten. At jeg synes FrPs menneskesyn er forkastelig. Enn så lenge kan støttepartiene gjøre at Kongeriket Norge har Høyre og Fremskrittspartiet i regjering.

Får se hva de folkevalgte vil gjøre som representanter for folket. Hadde vært gøy om virkelig støttepartiene hadde gjort det enda vanskeligere for regjeringen. Slik at de ikke bare må forklare seg i ekstra høring, men må legge alt ut for høring og bli nedstemt. Det ville vært briljant! Ønsker dere alle troll ute på Nettavisen, Dagbladet og VG. Som bør ha større forståelse for Venstre og Kristeligfolkeparti, ikke kalle dem nedlatende for å bruke sin mulighet til å spille spillet. The Wires Omar Little sa «It’s all in the game» og det stemmer i denne sammenhengen. Så la oss kaste terningen, sende torpedoen og gi regjeringen litt mer arbeid. Slik at ministre ikke er like hoven og arrogant som Anundsen. Peace.

Press Statement on the timetable for 2015 General elections by the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru M. Jega at a Press Conference on February 07th, 2015, Nigeria

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Introduction

We invited you here today to make known the position of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the timetable for the 2015 general elections. Let me state from the outset that the Commission’s position was reached after carefully weighing the suggestions from briefings held with different stakeholders in the electoral process.

The conduct of elections in a country like Nigeria is invariably a collective venture that involves not just the Election Management Body (EMB), but also a diverse range of stakeholders, notably security agencies, political parties and their candidates, voters, as well as interest groups, such as the civil society organizations and the media. To guarantee successful conduct of elections, there are things that are wholly the responsibility of the EMB. But there are other things critical for the success of elections, which fall outside the control of the EMB.

In other words, while INEC must work hard to perfect its systems and processes for conducting elections, and take responsibility for any imperfections thereof, whatever the Commission does may not by itself be sufficient to guarantee the success of elections. There are a number of issues in the preparation and conduct of an election, the most critical of which is security, which is not under the control of INEC.

Current State of INEC’s Preparedness

On Thursday, February 5, 2015, I was invited to brief the National Council of State, which is the highest advisory to the President comprising past and present leaders in Nigeria, on the level of preparedness of INEC to conduct the 2015 general elections. I made a presentation to the Council titled ‘Preparations for the 2015 General Elections: Progress Report,’ in which I gave a detailed account of what the Commission has been doing in readiness for the national elections (National Assembly and Presidential) scheduled for February 14th, and the state elections (Governorship and State Assembly) scheduled forFebruary 28th, 2015.

The summary of my presentation to the National Council of State meeting is that, for matters under its control,  INEC is substantially ready for the general elections as scheduled, despite discernible challenges being encountered with some of its processes like the collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) by registered members of the public.

In addition, INEC has been doing everything it can to facilitate the collection of the PVCs by registered members of the public. As at 5th February 2015, the total number of PVCs collected was 45, 829, 808, representing 66.58% of the total number of registered voters.

In the delivery and deployment of electoral materials, INEC is also at a comfort level in its readiness for the general elections as scheduled (see the presentation to the Council of State). The Commission’s preparations are not yet perfect or fully accomplished. But our level of preparedness, despite a few challenges, is sufficient to conduct free, fair and credible elections as scheduled on February 14th and February 28th. Compared with 2011 when, within a short time, we conducted general elections that were universally adjudged free, fair and credible and the best in Nigeria’s recent electoral history, our processes aretoday better refined, more robust and therefore capable of delivering even better elections.

Other Variables

But as I mentioned earlier, there are some other variables equally crucial for successful conduct of the 2015 general elections that are outside the control of INEC. One important variable is security for the elections.

While the Commission has a very good working relationship with all security agencies, especially on the platform of the Inter-agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) since its inception in 2010, it has become pertinent for it to seriously consider the security advisory presented to it by the Security and Intelligence Services. I would like to reiterate here that INEC is an EMB and not a security agency. It relies on the security services to provide a safe environment for personnel, voters, election observers and election materials to conduct elections wherever it deploys. Where the security services strongly advise otherwise, it would be unconscionable of the Commission to deploy personnel and call voters out in such a situation.

Last Wednesday, which was a day before the Council of State meeting, the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) wrote a letter to the Commission, drawing attention to recent developments in four Northeast states of Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Gombe currently experiencing the challenge of insurgency. The letter stated that security could not be guaranteed during the proposed period in February for the general elections.

This advisory was reinforced at the Council of State meeting on Thursday where the NSA and all the Armed Services and Intelligence Chiefs unanimously reiterated that the safety and security of our operations cannot be guaranteed, and that the Security Services needed at least six weeks within which to conclude a major military operation against the insurgency in the Northeast; and that during this operation, the military will be concentrating its attention in the theatre of operations such that they may not be able to provide the traditional support they render to the Police and other agencies during elections.

INEC’s Decision

We have done wide ranging consultation to enable us have as much input as is necessary before taking an informed decision. In the series of consultations that we held with stakeholders, the questions consistently posed to them for consideration are:

In view of the latest development, should INEC proceed with the conduct of the general elections as scheduled in spite of this strong advice; and if so, what alternative security arrangements are available to be put in place?

Or, should INEC take the advice and adjust the schedules of the general elections within the framework of Constitutional provisions?

The Commission held a meeting after the consultations, and decided to take the advice of the Security Chiefs and adjust the dates of the elections. We have done this relying on Section 26(1) of the Electoral 2010 (As Amended), which states thus: “Where a date has been appointed for the holding of an election, and there is reason to believe that a serious breach of the peace is likely to occur if the election is proceeded with on that date or it is impossible to conduct the elections as a result of natural disasters or other emergencies, the Commission may postpone the election and shall in respect of the area, or areas concerned, appoint another date for the holding of the postponed election, provided that such reason for the postponement is cogent and verifiable”.

INEC not being a security agency that could by itself guarantee protection for personnel and materials, as well as voters during elections, the Commission cannot lightly wave off the advice by the nation’s Security Chiefs. The Commission is specifically concerned about the security of our ad hoc staff who constitute at least 600,000 young men and women, together with our regular staff, voters, election observers as well as election materials painstakingly acquired over the last one and half years. This concern is limited not just to the areas in the North-eastern part of Nigeria experiencing insurgency; the risk of deploying young men and women and calling people to exercise their democratic rights in a situation where their security cannot be guaranteed is a most onerous responsibility. Under such circumstances, few EMBs across the world, if any, would contemplate proceeding with the elections as scheduled. No matter the extent of INEC’s preparedness, therefore, if the security of personnel, voters, election observers and election materials cannot be guaranteed, the life of innocent young men and women as well the prospects of free, fair, credible and peaceful elections would be greatly jeopardised.

Consequently, the Commission has decided to reschedule the 2015 general elections thus: the national elections (i.e. Presidential and National Assembly) are now to hold on March 28th, 2015; while the state elections (Governorship and State Assembly) are to hold onApril 11th, 2015. It should be noted that this rescheduling falls within the constitutional framework for the conduct of the elections, notably, Sections 76(2), 116(2), 132(2) and 178(2). See also Section 25 of the Electoral Act 2010 (As Amended).

For the avoidance of doubt, we will under no circumstances approve an arrangement that is not in line with the provisions of our laws. Our hope is that with this rescheduling, the security services will do their best to ensure that the security environment needed for safe and peaceful conduct of the 2015 elections is rapidly put in place.

We in INEC reassure all Nigerians and indeed the international community of our commitment to do everything within the law and to conduct free, fair, credible and peaceful elections. We call on the security agencies to honour their commitment to restore sufficient normalcy for elections to take place within the period of extension. We also call on Nigerians, political parties, candidates and all other stakeholders to accept this decision in good faith and ensure the maintenance of peace.

As for us in INEC we’ll endeavour to use the period of the extension to keep on perfecting our systems and processes for conducting the best elections in Nigeria’s history. In particular, we believe that we would resolve all outstanding issues related to non-collection of PVCs, which agitate the minds of many Nigerians.

Finally, we wish to call on all Nigerians to accept our decision, which is taken in good faith and the best interest of deepening democracy ion our country.

Thank you.

SG/SM/16497-AFR/3063: Deeply Concerned about Deteriorating Security in Darfur, Secretary-General Urges Government, Armed Movements to Resume Dialogue towards Political Settlement (29.1.2015)

The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon:

The Secretary-General is deeply concerned about the deteriorating security situation in Darfur following reports of an escalation of hostilities between the Government of Sudan and the Darfur armed movements in Central Darfur and the resulting displacement of civilians.  The United Nations has confirmed that at least 36,000 civilians have been displaced in Darfur due to these hostilities.

He condemns the reported aerial bombardment and destruction of villages in the Golo locality of Central Darfur State on 27 January.

The Secretary-General urges the Government and the armed movements to exercise maximum restraint, without delay, and fully assume their responsibility to prevent further displacements and suffering of civilian populations, and resume dialogue to reach a political settlement to the Darfur conflict.

The Secretary-General also calls on the parties to the conflict to fully cooperate with the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and the humanitarian partners in their efforts to protect and provide assistance to the civilian population of Darfur.
