What can the Netherlands expect if no action is taken?
The prospects are not rosy now. The referendum has been very undemocratic. An unconstitutional emergency law has been imposed on us, which is constantly being extended. Not to mention handing over ¾ of our constitution to the EU. 5G will be rolled out without a referendum. Unfortunately it doesn't stop here. The influence of NATO, WHO and especially WEF is going to be disastrous.
The government is there to serve the people, to create conditions for the inhabitants that are acceptable to as many people as possible and that minorities do not become unacceptable victims of nonsensical or unjust lines. With more than 17 million people, rules are necessary. Without rules it will be chaos. Take the right-hand drive rule. Without it, no one would arrive at their destination unscathed. Rules must therefore be realistic, in the interest of everyone and not in favor of a particular elite. Rules come with costs. You can call these contributions or taxes. Here, too, it is required that they are proportionate and spent transparently.
At all times, government should serve the interests of the people. If the legislature (House of Representatives) after the implementation of the Alternative Constitution (AS) has enough representatives of the people who are convinced that they have many welfare-promoting items in their private program on which they have been elected, the executive (government ministers) will function completely differently than until now.
Take things in which all people are obliged or necessary to participate. This includes healthcare, education, insurance and banking services. Market forces within these four should be banned. Opinions differ about banks, especially if the Diem (of the Central Bank Digital Currency, see DAK 30-04-2022 by Ido Dijkstra) will be introduced. Then the government knows everything about all our spending and can intervene at will. If we could avert that system, the next step should be to split banks into systemic and investment banks. System banks, or utility banks, are there for normal financial transactions, such as salary bookings, private payments and possibly savings. Investment banks then just go about their business and can collapse after mismanagement, without the state intervening. Systemic banks do not take any risks on the stock exchange, they do not aim for (exorbitant) profits, but serve their customers.
Insurance companies insure people against disaster and unforeseen disadvantages. Here too, service should take precedence over profit. The premiums should be covering after deduction of all costs. Serving customers, without fine print. Using any profits to lower the premium is customer-friendly.
Market forces in healthcare and education should be completely taboo. As far as healthcare is concerned, the principle of income-related premiums should apply here, a principle of solidarity. If preventive care is given priority from the renewed health insurance fund, supported by the health ministry, alternative care is integrated with regular care and doctors are employed, care will be better and cheaper. Each GP may be paid according to the number of healthy patients in his/her practice.
Education should never be 'marketed'. However, efforts should be made towards education without having to sit down (which is really possible) by offering cognitive subjects in a very child-oriented manner. There should also be controlled (more) space for alternative forms of teaching.
Many people are aware that a society aimed at profit and lust for power must be stopped. This has resulted in various parallel societies. Unfortunately, still far too little structured and independent of each other inventing a nice round wheel, even though Bob de Wit says that this must be prevented. Yet there are groups that are working on their own currency, as once in the Middle Ages, which in turn raises various barriers. Even Bob de Wit recognized that his Society 4.0 needs a people-friendly government, given his assignment in my book of his: “For Rients, Hopeful on the way in the Plush Revolution to Society 4.0!” (The plush revolution is a possible elaboration of the AS system)
But anything is better than the Diem, which Ido wrote about. In my humble opinion, I fear that this digital currency is more promising than all kinds of parallel societies, because of 'our' participation in which party elites, controlled by evil international organizations, rule.
All initiatives by population groups to take matters into their own hands will, if successful, be infiltrated or sabotaged by the government that does not want reforms and undermining of its power. After the introduction of the AS, parliament will give the ministers orders in accordance with the wishes of an ever-changing majority of the population.
Believe that the allowance affair would have been handled differently, that healthy food would already be VAT-free, that we no longer had a housing shortage, the migration problem would have been solved very humanely and 5G would not have been a hammer piece. But a Nexit, with the return of the guilder and the questioning of the monarchy, could also be presented to the population.
Then democracy would stand like all houses in Groningen after a thorough renovation.
