Vallank\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00e4 varten on ensinn\u00e4kin kehitett\u00e4v\u00e4 uusi j\u00e4rjestelm\u00e4, jossa ei ole nykyisi\u00e4 ep\u00e4kohtia. Julkinen p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6ksenteko ei saa alistua talouden vallanpit\u00e4jien eduille ja ep\u00e4poliittiseksi naamioidulle talouden asiantuntemukselle.<\/p>\n

Uudenlainen demokratia vaatii my\u00f6s, ett\u00e4 kansalaiset kysyv\u00e4t itselt\u00e4\u00e4n kahta asiaa.\u201dOnko minun mukisemattava sopeuduttava niihin p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6ksiin, jotka tehd\u00e4\u00e4n Suomen rajojen ulkopuolella?\u201d \u201dVaikutanko min\u00e4 todella suomalaisten p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6ksentekij\u00f6iden ratkaisuihin?\u201d.<\/p>\n

Politiikan teht\u00e4v\u00e4 on varmistaa kansalaisille sellainen hyv\u00e4 el\u00e4m\u00e4, jota he itse haluavat . Talouskasvu ja kansainv\u00e4linen kilpailukyky ovat vain v\u00e4lineit\u00e4, joilla p\u00e4\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4\u00e4n pyrit\u00e4\u00e4n. Hyv\u00e4 el\u00e4m\u00e4 edellytt\u00e4\u00e4 muutoksia nykyisiin olosuhteisiin ja oman historian rakentaminen on tapa kehitt\u00e4\u00e4 muutostavoitteita.<\/p>\n

THE CHALLENGE<\/h3>\n

<\/a>
\nAll developed industrial countries face the necessity of finding an alternative to the present, outdated representative democracy. The division of Finnish politics into two parts illuminates this argument.<\/p>\n

Political parties take care of public decision-making while citizens seek to remedy faults in their own surroundings. As long as these two fields of activity remain independent of each other the present political system doesn\u2019t stand for democracy, it secures just the smooth functioning of state institutions. An alternative calls for two matters<\/p>\n

The new system for the use of public power has to be free from the crucial defects in the present one. Public decision-making is today subordinated to the interests of those with economic power and dominated by unaccountable, supposedly apolitical experts.<\/p>\n

Constructing a new democracy is only possible if citizens ask themselves two questions. \u2018Am I doomed to adjust to decisions made outside Finnish borders without demur?\u2019 \u2018Do I really influence decisions made in the parliament, for instance?\u2019<\/p>\n

The idea of politics is to guarantee what in the citizens\u2019 view is good life for them. Economic growth and international competitiveness are just means to this end. History-making is a method of finding out what is missing from the present conditions and of devising respective demands to make the world better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
