Free Market Democracy? A Class Act!

HARK?! Have I, homeless and at war with life itself, by scanning the news, stumbled-upon the..., THE...., 21C system of Democratic POWOWER!?!?!?

The news in Australia recently has had items on a 'Class Action' being put together against a telco which has been consistent in letting-down it's customers with lack-luster performance. 'Vodaphone' is it's name.

I read an item on it on the 'net news today, and wuz inspired to scribe this to no less than the law firm (Piper Alderman) who are bound to make a few zillion by taking-on this class action for disgruntled customers.

Here 'tis...:

Vodaphone?

Bravo! But why stop with Vodaphone?

All Aust telcos are underperforming.

(I use Telstra for prepaid mobile and wireless b-band.)

Going for Vodaphone only gives the rest of the rogues a marketing fillip they don't deserve.

Better a nationwide class action to force some sense across the telco industry generally.

Yep! Challenging the 'free market' I is!

But it remains the case that all of us are robbed by all of them.

Interesting scenario, a class action to force government to nationalise the poles, wires and towers, then rent them to all telcos at usage rates?

Maybe this one's for Slater Gordon, or Holding Redlich? (2 Aussie law firms with Social Consciences)

A twist-indeed to free market democracy, say what?


HmmMMMmmm?!?

A late thought is that such a class action in court, by the public against erroneous laws and marketplace game-players, could not possibly be rejected by such as Vodaphone, because such legal actions, against the unequal-thus-unfair markets could only benefit the smaller players, such as, in this case, Vodaphone.

It would be a very efficient way, assuming the lawyer's didn't fuck-it as a cash-cow, to end monopolies and all unfair marketplace behaviour, by legislating through the courts against the bad laws which enable monopolists, cabals and cartels to exist in the first place.

Class Actions have interested me for years, because I have seen, as I'm inclined to believe, the potential in them to actually get things done.

And not only in the marketplace, for were the concept of enough voters getting themselves together in forming a collective to present their case in the law courts to challenge erroneous LAWS as imposed by filthy-rotten and terminally corrupt GOVERNMENT, it seems to me that it would be a dramatic advancement upon the fast dwindling power of the electoral vote.

I might be wrong..., but..., I, mememe..., don't think so. I think?

As it stands, legal representation, aggrievences, or challenges in a court of law ('law'? in Astrayliar? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!) are often between the state and the defendant or aggrieved member of the public.

If the court, or the bench determines that the citizen is correct, then they have the power to change the written laws.

Therefore? What difference is there between that, and challenging the legislation and common laws which any number of citizens can, with evidence, prove are wrong, bad, evil or possibly even unjust, through this potentially quite powerful means?

Indeed? What for a Class Action?

Why then, can not an individual, obviously with several billion dollars up their raincoat to splash, take-on governments and their laws, if they can provide EVIDENCE to the court, that the laws are pernicious, harmful, inefficient, inhumane, or just stupid?

HmmMMMmmm???!

Is there the seed of an idea herein, to rocket DEMOCRACY back into the political, social and legal sphere?

'Free Market Democracy'! Sounds like a good name for a REALPolitik Party!

The 'Free Market Democracy Party'! The 'FMDP'!

Let's see the US Tea Party and FOX media shitcan THAT one!?

Sounds like a Class Act, to memememe!

Argh? Hello?

Messrs Slater and Gordon?

MHR Adam Bandt?

Messrs Holding Redlich??

But, like I say..., "I may be missing something here....?"
