#elected — Public Fediverse posts

"In comments to The Times last month, #Menday said: “I am not #antisemitic nor do I have any #Nazi sympathies.

“I have flirted with what could reasonably be referred to as ‘#farright ideology’ but ultimately I have come to reject its core tenets.”

However, #ReformUK confirmed on Wednesday that “Councillor Menday has been suspended from Reform UK pending investigation after he failed to declare #socialmedia posts which have brought the party into disrepute.

“Reform UK does not support such comments.”

The suspension comes as several other of the party’s newly #elected councillors have left, after revelations regarding highly disturbing social media posts."

Okay, if you insist @[email protected], I'll go ahead & be the best today, but it can be a rotating assigned role just like #elected positions should actually be. Training is required through school, but then if you want to actually #serve the public you have to go into advanced training.

One of the problems with #American pseudo-democracy is that it's a #gerontocracy - rule by the old. The average #Congresscritter is late-middle-age, and the average #Senator is dead. Young people are frustrated at their lack of voice.

#Canada isn't nearly as bad, but I fear it could trend in the same direction, so I've been thinking about solutions to the problem. I think I've got one that's better than the oft-floated fix of just imposing term limits on #elected office, because you'll probably still be first electing middle-aged people.

Instead, for each chamber, set a ceiling *average* age for members of that chamber. Maybe for the Canadian House of #Commons and the US House of #Representatives you want something like 40, while permitting the #Senate of each to be the "older, wiser house of sober second thought" by setting a number like 50.

Each day, the system automatically calculates the average age of members in that class, to account for birthdays etc. If birthday(s) suddenly push that average above the ceiling value, the oldest person in that class is automatically dismissed, leaving the position vacant to be filled by by-election / special election. Repeat until ceiling value achieved.

Here's the important bit: anyone turfed automatically this way does not receive a pension or other benefits; they're just gone. This gives them the incentive to resign before automatic expulsion; otherwise there's no reason for them to do so.

All y'all, talkin' how These next four years are gonna be rough - are adorable. I will be pleasantly surprised if we see someone living in the White House, who is not a member of the #GOP, before 2041. That's only four #election cycles: We just #elected our king, so sez SCOTUS, & we can't #prosecute him for ANYTHING he does while in office, so he's not going anywhere. Then his mini-me will be in the #WhiteHouse because "If we #win it's #fair & if you win it's #cheating." #SCOTUS #king #trump

It's not quite as black-and-white as that.

The project was backed by the #elected #councils of pretty much every indigenous #community that it affected. After it was #approved, it was #protested by a smaller number of *#hereditary* leaders, along with a whole lot of non-indigenous outside agitators.

The #TMP had the most thorough #planning #review process ever seen for a #pipeline in Canada - possibly anywhere.

It's a small minority of the #indigenous community against it.
