I watched the voting online. The way it works is properly preposterous. Things go insanely fast. Alternating risen arm and electronic votes.
Votes are only announced by the president which calls them in his or her native language then translated into all other languages. Quite often translators aren’t able to keep up leading to numerous errors in voting.
- simonhamp 8y agoWhat an absolute farce. It’s laughable how archaic these processes still are. Might be inclined to think it was almost intentional to push through the legislation that best serves the small number of already-wealthy lobbying entities.
- phiresky 8y agoYou're really arguing that 700 representatives from 30 countries speaking in 10 different languages with live translation and voting with automatic tallying is _archaic_? But I agree, the way the counting works and how they do not seem to care at all about accurate results seems ridiculous: https://youtu.be/lzigiPUXNzI https://youtu.be/lzigiPUXNzI
