... good, the common weal, in Wales, Germany, Hong Kong and the USA.
In Wales we have Jac who considers the common weal to be a narrow view of the xenophobic, the intense and irrational dislike or fear of people from England ...
In Germany there are the considerations of the Euro, is the financial rescue fund considered crucial to the future of the euro to get the green light. A poll published on Friday on Spiegel Online showed that 54% of Germans were in favour of the court blocking the legislation, reflecting the degree to which public opposition to bailouts is increasing. Is the common weal the good of Germany, or has the definition extended to people of one country extending their largess to other nations ? Do the German people see themselves as kin with the peoples of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France .......
In Hong Kong it's very serious, will Beijing allow universal suffrage, even though it doesn't exist as a democratic process in China itself, universal suffrage has little value in a single party state. The effect of extending democracy to Hong Kong which has a semi-autonomous status in China, is to open the doors to a "China Spring", in effect the demise of Communist China. When thousands of demonstrators protest against the plan for mandatory patriotism lessons, you know there is trouble ahead !
Whilst in the USA the battle between Republican and Democrats will be resolved when the peoples who vote decide who are the stakeholders, is it all the peoples of the states, or just a small group who hold the wealth, an important consideration when considering the Common Good, and lets not forget the prayers !
Back to Britain and there is a kind of hush, our politicians are driven by opinion polls rather than the Common Good, it's quite pathetic.
