Como bem observa Andrew Marr, no seu sobrevoo sobre a longa História do Mundo, bom mesmo é o governo pela discussão. Que parece ter começado na Grécia Antiga. Chamamos-lhe Democracia. E pressupõe o combate à corrupção dos nossos representantes, forçosa e felizmente, temporários e com poderes limitados ao disposto nas leis aplicáveis a todos.

Esteve muito bem, por estes últimos dias, o Parlamento Europeu. Que felicito na pessoa da sua atual Presidente, Roberta Metsola, que hoje proferiu em Estrasburgo um certeiro e notável discurso (Aqui), do qual destaco: 

 "I must choose my words carefully, in a manner that does not jeopardise ongoing investigations or in any way undermine the presumption of innocence... And, I will. So if my fury, my anger, my sorrow do not come across please be assured that they are very much present - along with my determination for this House to grow stronger... The enemies of democracy for whom the very existence of this Parliament is a threat, will stop at nothing... Their malicious plans failed. Our services, of whom I am incredibly proud, have been working with relevant national law enforcement and judicial authorities to break up this alleged criminal network for some time... Corruption cannot pay... And I must be clear, the allegations are not about left or right or north or south. This is about right and wrong... To those malign actors, in third countries, who think they can buy their way forward. Who think Europe is for sale. Who think they can take over our NGOs. Let me say that you will find this Parliament firmly in your way".

Apoiado. União Europeia. Exemplar.
