Actually that kinda IS democratic. The government can't just do whatever the hell it wants. that would be undemocratic.
The fact an external for-profit company in another country can limit what your politicians says however is a bit weird. But seeing as, generally, they won't have vested interest in Dutch affairs, maybe they're actually better than an internal entitity that may have a vested interest?
- tremon 3y agoYou have a very limited view of democracy. Just because it's not "the government" doesn't mean it's suddenly "the people" deciding it.
- Incipient 3y agoI just mean it's more towards democracy than a government running it's own podium. Calling it "undemocratic" seems like the more limited view imo?
