Better world without electricity?

The world has leaders, the leaders have goals. Mainly the goal of the leader is not to lead the country but to keep power (and sometimes to earn money). This is what power is all about, continuity. When there is no power grid, there will be less to have power over, and the power will be diverted into smaller pieces. Smaller pieces of power will work against the corruption of leadership and smaller pieces of power will give people a voice and show them that their vote does matter. Looking at the recent election in the US, a lot of people did not vote because they were under the impression their vote doesn’t count. When you divide power into smaller pieces peoples vote will count more and give people the idea that their vote does actually count. Smaller pieces of power does also oblige leaders to take the opinion of the people seriously, when a county has over a million people in it, the opinion of people starts to matter less and the continuity of power starts to matter more. Everybody has an opinion, and politicians just promise to make those things real, and to make the world better. But because all politicians lie, it doesn’t matter a lot when somebody gets called out on it. On one television channel something is true, but another channel tells us it is fake.

When power gets cut into pieces a city will have power over itself, because it will have the possibility to reign over the land it has without taking in consideration the opinion of people who happen to live in the same country, but live miles away. A state will get more power when it has less contact with the rest of the continent for the same reason. Take the European union for example, they have a lot of power over a lot of countries. A small county will have the possibility of sending a couple of its politicians to the parliament of the EU. Let’s say the country is allowed to send 20 people to the parliament. These 20 people have practically no influence on a parliament consisting of 750 people. The small country has to agree to everything the EU tells them, without having a fair say in the way things go. Why does the country agree? Mainly for the money, if a small country does not agree with the EU and does not participate in the EU, they will miss millions of euro’s in trade. Even though the people did not vote for this, the politicians are able to do what they want, under the claim that it is the right thing for the country and it is right for the economy of the country.
