Wind turbines: the whole truth.
VI2. We need greater attentiveness from our MP's.
When following the debates between the ministers responsible for wind energy and our Parliament, it sadly looks as though the MP's responsible for this issue lack sufficient knowledge. Statements by ministers on the application of wind energy are often so far from reality or so incomplete that it is disappointing to notice how little on the alert the MPs are when reacting, when it is their duty to conduct every debate by making sure it is based on practical knowledge.
It is also remarkable how those MPs whose personal opinion on the issue is well known are not allowed to express their opinion in the debate due to the extremely strict party-discipline. During my conversations with certain MPs, I have been able to confirm how they did not agree at all with what their party prescribed as obligatory on the issue of wind energy.
A real democracy would be better served by greater watchfulness and more independent action within our Parliament.
