Chat Control Voting Tactics: When opposition is only feigned when there is nothing at stake
The strategy of alibi voting, in which one opposes a controversial proposal only when its approval is safely assured, is a classic political calculation to appease the public. During Tuesday's key vote on the accelerated procedure, when bread was broken and only a few votes of those present were enough to block it, Danuše Nerudová and her companions raised their hands for the continuation of the spying law. Then, when the final decision was made on Thursday in a relaxed pre-holiday hall with many absentees - where the unattainable absolute majority of 361 votes of all elected MEPs was strictly required for rejection - these politicians could afford to formally vote "against" without risk, in order to mask their real assignment from the EU's puppet masters in front of angry voters at home.
It's a pity that Chat Control was not "killed" already on Tuesday. That was the best chance. On Tuesday, only a few extra votes would be enough to reject it - even the one from Nerudová, who of course SUPPORTED snooping. On Thursday, it was already about an absolute majority, when before the summer, on the last day of voting, with a lot of absenteeism, the chance was small, so Nerudová et al. they could safely vote against it without jeopardizing snooping.
Sometimes pretending I'm against it, only when it sucks, serves as a good strategy to fulfill the orders of the puppeteers, and at the same time to pretend opposition to the angry voters, right, Danush...
