KINGSTON, Jamaica - HAS anybody noticed how unelected bodies like the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, the United Nations, World Bank and others are encroaching on the Legislative Agenda of some nations of the world? These organisations are able to determine what legislations are established, by tying their support, grants and loans to us, passing certain laws whether we the electorate know about them or not. This is effectively transferring the power of the people, and those whom they elected, to unelected technocrats sitting in some offices somewhere in the world, and represents a means of control. In the case of Greece, George Papandreo, leader of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok) and the son and grandson of two former prime ministers, was pressured by an austerity- induced economic crisis to step down in favour of a Government of national unity, and replaced by the technocrat Lucas Papademos, former European Central Bank vice- president, in order to receive the EU financing deal.
