All that legal marijuana is making them paranoid.

I agree about the voting machines being insecure, it's been amply proven, but I simply don't buy that the dutch government does anything for smart or reasonable or pro-people reasons.
Even if I'm as dumb as you say I'm not THAT dumb to not see that 'I love techno'

I'll take that bet. Seems like easy money to me.

They'll vote against something, not because it's currently less than perfect, but because it could be perfect in the future.

I think If we look up retarded in the big book of words, that assessment would be listed. I also completely disagree with your opinion of the Dutch.

Electronic voting is a bad idea. In the US, ballot machines in mainly black areas were set to accept invalid votes, because it was certain they'd vote for one party. In the mainly white areas, the machines returned the incorrect card and let the voter try again.

I'm willing to bet the dutch 'leaders' only vote against voting machines because they might become tamper-proof, sooner than because they would be tamper-sensitive.
Not that it matters, the dutch people are politically naïve and uninformed and will allow anything to be done to them and they will still re-elect the people doing it, neo-americanism again.


Once again the Dutch demonstrate a strikingly rational and sensible attitude toward a major societal issue.
Electronic voting is not secure, so go back to paper until it is.
I wonder why the Dutch politicians are so capable of taking the decisions that matter. Is it because they are less prone to corruption ? Is it because there is less money involved ? Or is it because there is no big investor contributing millions to campaign funds ?
Could it be that big campaign funders are anti-democratic ?
Could it ?
