Arnhemse Preforatium

May 27th, 2007 by Joid

choooooooooseThere is tumult in the most beautiful city @ the Rhein, dear fellow Ochers. Arnhem has to go to the voicesheds on the 6th of june for a preferendum. Of course each Ocher knows what a preferendum inholds, but for the ignorants; its a referendum with more then 2 choices. It comes from the English word preference. And alle Arnhemmers have to choose between 3 different variants for a new to build harbor: Short, Long or Sluice.

Now the first idea of this Rijnboog project is that its all nice and okidoki. Let the plebs choose a harbor and lets start digging. But the opposition in Arnhem has started an anti-campaign against the preferendum and is telling the people not to vote. Why? Because, according to them, the preferendum is a scam. Its yes, yes or yes. There is no option to choose not for the harbor. So that is a shine-democracy! Also other possibilities are not considered. So many Arnhemmers don’t feel heard.

I’ll let some more water passing the Rhein before I make my decision what to do.
