“Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.” – Otto von Bismarck
From Mr. Kenzi Riboulet-Zemouli on the machinations around the CBD vote yesterday U.N. vote on CBD: seeing through the smokescreen of confusions.
Politics is the art of the next best
von Bismarck elaborates:
Initial ingredients:
Laws=beginning ideas and first bill drafts
Sausage=raw ingredients
Mixing process:
Laws=Committee hearing process,input from public, debate, amendments
Sausage=spices, additives, fillers
Grinding process:
Laws=floor debate and action, sometimes messy process
Sausage=all final ingredients mixed together
Finished product:
Laws=something that won’t make everyone 100% satisfied (it’s called compromise)
Sausage=something that not everyone will enjoy, but will still sell
