Well, the past few (or more) years, it seems that everything has already been planned and decided behind closed doors or in private cabinet meetings and that sharing new proposals or laws with the public is just a courtesy to us and necessary formality for approval purposes.

A very fascinating in depth read! Thank you! The village elections need to be moved back to March ASAP.
