They’re trying to force women quotas for everything, everywhere, without even knowing what a woman is

The vaginal agenda is going psycho.

However, there is a simple solution if they try to force you out of something because you’re a man – put on a dress and say you’re a tranny.

I’m serious. Who cares? It’s funny.

Remix:

Based on a new electoral reform act being pushed by Germany’s left-wing Social Democrats (SPD), the two biggest opposition parties in Germany, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Alternative for Germany (AfD), may be disqualified from even running their candidates for office.

Germany’s Bundestag president is calling for a radical “woke” electoral reform act that would require 50 percent of party list candidates to be female. In Germany’s election system, voters vote for a party, but the party chooses the candidates in a list format. For parties like the CDU/CSU, this list currently includes 141 men and 46 women, while for the AfD, it includes 72 men and 11 women.

The new reform would be a major hit against conservatives, who tend to field more male candidates. The reform could also dramatically reshape elections by simply disqualifying conservative parties from even running, or at the very least, make it difficult for them to field candidates.

Germany has just concluded changing its election law to reduce the number of MPs and also change its system of entering parliament based on “direct mandates.” Previously, parties that received three direct mandates could enter parliament even if they scored below 5 percent. Now, the law, for example, is set to disadvantage a number of parties, including the anti-establishment Left Party, as well as the Christian Socialist Union (CSU), which performs well in Bavaria but has no real presence elsewhere in the country.

Bundestag President Bärbel Bas (SPD), who is pushing for the new “woke” election reform, also wants to lower the voting age to 16.


Bärbel Bas

She says it is her wish “to put together a package on voting rights in this election period,” she told Deutschlandfunk. She is also calling for “an extension of the legislative period from four to five years.”

Essentially, that would allow parties to hold power for five years instead of the current four years, making elections less frequent and giving Germans fewer opportunities to vote out governments.

Bas hopes “that we will also reach a decision on this by the end of the legislative period.” The dispute, however, “will still be complicated,” she said. Furthermore, as Remix News previously reported, similar female quotas had been struck down as unconstitutional by courts in Brandenburg and Thuringia following complaints from the AfD party.

The people making these policies – who, frankly, are Jewish – know that women are the worst decision-makers, and very easily manipulated. A society controlled by women is a doomed society. It says this in the Bible.

That’s why we need more masculine trannies filling these roles.

New Zealand to Vote on Lowering Voting Age After Constitutional Court Said It’s Discriminatory https://www.anglinarchive.com/2022/11/24/new-zealand-to-vote-on-lowering-voting-age-after-constitutional-court-said-its-discriminatory/ Thu, 24 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Yeah, I mean, teenagers should definitely be allowed to vote.

Why not?

Dogs and rats should be allowed to vote also.

Democracy is a complete circus, so there really shouldn’t be any restrictions on anything at all.

AP:

New Zealand lawmakers will take a vote on whether to lower the national voting age from 18 to 16, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Monday.

Her announcement came hours after the country’s Supreme Court ruled that not allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to vote amounted to age discrimination.

But while Ardern said she personally favors lowering the age, such a change would require a 75% supermajority of lawmakers to agree. And even proponents acknowledge they don’t currently have the numbers.

A number of countries are debating whether to lower their voting age. Some that allow people to vote at 16 include Austria, Malta, Brazil, Cuba and Ecuador.

Sanat Singh, co-director of New Zealand’s Make It 16 campaign, said he was absolutely thrilled with the court’s decision.

“It’s a huge day,” he said. “This is historic not only for our campaign, but for the country.”

Singh, 18, said existential issues like climate change — as well as issues like pandemic recovery and the state of democracy — will most affect young people.

“That’s why I think it’s really important to get all hands on deck to make sure we can have a stronger future,” he said.

Ardern, who leads the liberal Labour Party, said all lawmakers should have a say on the issue.

“I personally support a decrease in the voting age but it is not a matter simply for me or even the government,” Ardern said. “Any change in electoral law of this nature requires 75% of parliamentarians’ support.”

Ardern said the vote would likely take place within the coming months but any change would not take effect until after next year’s general election.

The liberal Green Party said it supported a change.

“Young people deserve to have a say in the decisions that affect them, both now and in the future,” said Golriz Ghahraman, the party’s electoral reform spokesperson.

But New Zealand’s two main conservative opposition parties said they oppose a change.

“It’s not something we support,” Opposition Leader Christopher Luxon told reporters. “Ultimately, you’ve got to draw the line somewhere, and we’re comfortable with the line being 18.”

At the Supreme Court, four judges found in favor of the lobby group’s appeal with a fifth judge dissenting to some aspects of the decision.

In New Zealand, the protection against age discrimination begins at 16, and the judges ruled that the attorney-general had failed to show why 18 had been chosen as the age to vote rather than 16.

Yeah, it’s a good point, in theory. These ages are arbitrary. You used to be considered an adult objectively based on sexual maturity, but a person is more or less always going to be sexually mature by 14.

That said, none of it makes sense in this society. If you’re going to have voting, you have to have voting only by people with some stake in the system. Right now, the left in every country is just “Jews plus people with no stake in the system.”

Frankly, the rule should be property ownership as a requisite to vote. That would nullify the discussion of age and the ongoing issue of women voting. Women and 16 year olds who were property owners would be rare, and if they existed, they would more or less vote with the normal people.

We rattle on about the problems of “democracy,” but the problems are specifically with “universal suffrage democracy.” It makes absolutely zero sense to allow everyone to vote.

America was never a universal suffrage democracy until the late 19th century. Pretty much, the vision of the Found Fathers was doomed from that point on.

UK: Demands to Lower the Voting Age to 16 Intensify https://www.anglinarchive.com/2020/05/09/uk-demands-to-lower-the-voting-age-to-16-intensify/ Sat, 09 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000
This is one of the pictures this article used to make its case

What could possibly go wrong?

The Conversation:

In an alternative “COVID-19 free” world, voters would have gone to the polls on May 7 to participate in local or mayoral elections in many parts of the UK. For most young people though, the absence of elections this year is likely to have gone unnoticed and unmourned – despite the fact that for many this means they will have to wait another year before they can vote for the first time.

The lack of engagement and participation of young people in local and mayoral elections is a frequent theme in post-election analysis. But the current pandemic has also made many young people feel they are uniquely democratically unrepresented and voiceless.

So most young people don’t care, but they feel unrepresented.

Huh?

Research indicates that young people have not been consulted about decisions during the pandemic that have radically altered their current and future lives. Under-18s are also excluded from submitting Downing Street briefing questions – this is despite the fact that in Scotland 16 and 17-year-olds can vote in Scottish Parliament and local elections.

From 2021, Wales will also allow all 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in local and Welsh Assembly elections. But this is not the case for young people living in England – or in Northern Ireland. Even though Northern Ireland’s devolved Assembly passed a motion in 2012 supporting “Votes at 16”, it does not have the powers to lower the voting age.

…

There is however no current consideration in Westminster of the devolution of franchise powers to allow people in England and Northern Ireland to consider introducing “Votes at 16” in local or regional elections. This means that where young people live determines if and when they can vote.

That’s completely unfair, I agree.

What should determine if they can vote or not should be more concrete – an IQ test, paying taxes, serving in the military, something that proves you’ve contributed to society in some way.

Why is this thing allowed to vote?

The people who invented democracy never thought just staying alive to a certain age should be enough to let you have a say in anything.

The Lowering the Voting Age in the UK project has analysed the effects of the bespoke and partial introduction of “Votes at 16”. It has revealed that the contested relationship between maturity, adulthood and enfranchisement has split political and public opinion – which is now evenly split between those who believe the voting age should be lowered and those who don’t.

Unlike in 1969, when the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18, contemporary debates about voting age reform have failed to resolve the conundrum of whether young people should be given the vote at the beginning of their transitions to adulthood (16) or when they are legally recognised by the state to be an adult (18).

…

Most UK political parties, however, now support “Votes at 16”, though they have failed to sufficiently prioritise and collaborate on the issue to ensure its successful passage through Westminster. But it still remains a popular general election pledge.

But many Conservatives and their supporters oppose the universal lowering of the voting age to 16. The fear is the 1.5 million new young voters would most likely be Labour supporting pro-Europeans. Gridlock on the issue at Westminster has ensued.

Funny how people who don’t work for a living disproportionately vote for a party called “Labour.”

What’s even funnier though is that the people they’re voting for don’t work for a living either.

But the campaign for “Votes at 16” extends beyond Westminster – and there are a growing number of supportive local authorities and city-region mayors in England. But advocates outside of Westminster have continued to focus on universal voting age reform across the UK rather than campaigning for the devolution of franchise powers similar to those in Scotland and Wales.

This approach has denied people in England and Northern Ireland the same opportunities as their peers in Scotland and Wales to consider the case for “Votes at 16” on a local, regional, or national basis. It also fails to acknowledge the significant support for lowering the voting age to 16 among young people.

All of which highlights how the current situation is unsustainable and unfair. The devolution of franchise powers in England and Northern Ireland must be considered if the UK government is to honour its election promise to “level up” the UK. And it’s hoped that in time a parliamentary debate on this important issue will be finally scheduled.

Nobody reading this has ever lived in a democracy, and I doubt anybody ever will.

Democracy has always been a form of ethnocentric militarism, and this was always how it was understood and applied from ancient Athens until the Jews started infiltrating academia and the media in the Western world, primarily the English-speaking world and France.

Democracies do not let women vote, they do not let foreigners vote, they do not let children vote, they do not let farm animals vote, they do not let parasites vote, and all for the same reason – “Democracy” means “the power of the people,” and the only power any people have are the men who chop the invaders’ heads off.

Everybody else is at best a tolerated extra.


Ironically, this fella’s regime had more in common with actual democracy than the supposed democrats who beat him
