The UGT-A union has proposed that the People's Party form a government alone in Andalusia, with the aim of preventing Vox from accessing the regional executive. This initiative ignores the election results, where citizens voted for a majority that requires agreements. The union also seems to disregard the separation of powers, suggesting a political solution that is not within its purview.
The democratic algorithm fails to filter citizen votes 🗳️
From a technical perspective, the UGT-A proposal resembles a recommendation system that ignores input data. If the electoral algorithm yields a relative majority requiring coalitions, forcing a single-party government would be like modifying the source code to ignore the votes received. The separation of powers acts as a firewall that prevents external actors, such as unions, from rewriting the process rules. Here, the union attempts an unauthorized patch.
The union wants to be the antivirus of democracy 🛡️
UGT-A offers itself as the ultimate firewall against Vox, but its solution is like installing an antivirus that deletes operating system files. If Andalusians voted for Vox, perhaps they did not want a union to act as a content moderator. Next time, they might ask unions to design the ballots. That way, at least, the useful vote would be the one they decide.
