Latvia Bans Unvaccinated MPs From Voting

by Toby Young
17 November 2021 3:15 PM

If you thought vaccine apartheid had reached a new low in Austria, think again. In Latvia, MPs who haven’t been vaccinated or have natural immunity, having recovered from COVID-19, will have their pay suspended and no longer be able to take part in parliamentary votes. Euronews has more.

MPs approved the measure in a vote on Friday with 62 votes in favour in the 100-seat parliament.

“From November 15th, an MP will be entitled to participate in the work of the Saeima [Latvia’s Parliament] only if he or she has presented an interoperable COVID-19 certificate confirming the fact of vaccination or illness,” the statement from the parliament press office states.

“The payment of a monthly salary and compensation will be suspended for a Saeima MP who will not be entitled to participate in the work of the parliament,” it adds.

The measure also applies to local government lawmakers and will come into force as the country exits its latest one-month lockdown.

Since October 21st, all non-essential stores – as well as cultural and leisure venues – have been closed with public gatherings banned and private gatherings only allowed among one household. A nighttime curfew from 20:00 until 05:00 is also currently in force.

Starting next week, the country will enter a “green mode” with different rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

Only 53.6% of Latvia’s 1.9 million population is fully vaccinated, well below the EU average of 64.9%.

The country is currently categorised as of “high concern” by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

The public health agency noted that the hospital admission and occupancy rates in Latvia over the past week were among the highest in the 31 countries in the EU/EEA region.

The country has reported 236,765 infections since the beginning of the pandemic and 3,646 deaths.

What a horror show.

Voodoo “climate science,” voodoo “energy policy,” voodoo “carbon taxes.”

The “transition” being made by Britain and Europe is a transition to economic ruin.

God save us from wonks posing in hard hats and visibility jackets.

By an amazing coincidence these bits of voodoo all have the same aim: bringing the population under micro-managed control.

And extracting more and more cash via taxes, levies, subsidies etc etc – the money only goes one way…

The EU has nothing to do with trade; it is about politics. The globalist Establishment wants us IN the EU and is carrying out a step-by-step process to make us an Associate Member.

Our only hope is a Reform Government, which actually implements LEAVE.

There is no such thing as an Associate Member of the EU so it helps if you get your facts correct.

During the months before the EU Referendum, the creation of an Associate Member status was being discussed and then PM Call Me Dave was praying that they would propose this so he could use it during his campaign to keep us tied to the EU but to his horror it was not proceeded with so he hoped a rushed vote would save him – it didn’t of course.

And on facts, it is amazing after over 5 years since leaving how few politicians and media journalists understand that the EU Customs Union is ONLY for members of the EU.

They’re going to create a 2-tier EU (Eurozone = EU; non Eurozone – Associate Member).

Cameron initially proposed it with the UK leading the non-Eurozone nations, but they refused. Macron revived the idea. They’re just waiting for the Ukraine war to be over then it will be created:

This all comes as no surprise. The Labour Party and their satellites (Greens, Libdems etc) and most Tories, have, since Brexit been doing their utmost to create conditions to reverse the will of the people. It can only be said that these people are zealots and therefore unable to reason outside of their own insane ideology.
I hope reform make it absolutely clear that policies enacted by this unpopular idiotic government will be reversed.
But I suppose the only good thing to say is that they are just digging a bigger hole for themselves!

Starmer et al seem to be pursuing a similar crash and burn course as Sunak did. Almost like they don’t care about staying in power – just do as much damage as possible for one term then slide into cushy quango jobs, lecture circuit etc.

Agreed. I’ve always thought that from the perspective of the Tories and Labour the referendum was a means of getting a remain vote to enable them to join the Euro and fully give up the last vestiges of sovereignty. It would have served the dual purpose of convincing the rest of the EU populations that all was OK. Unfortunately it all went wrong when people voted to leave, so they went all out to muddy the waters, elected May and bunch of dubious characters, sent Starmer and the rest of the traitorous bunch of (expletive) to plot with Brussels on how to concoct a dodgy deal.

So now we are faced with a couple of years of more BS. No doubt they will do what they did in Ireland and pretend that the economy has rebounded when in reality the whole thing is a house of cards.

The whole project is teetering on the edge of disaster and that will spur on these fools.

I am surprised Sunak stayed as an MP and didn’t go back to the US or home to India. But then as he and his wife are already loaded he doesn’t need to grub around for money post PM-ship like Blair and Johnson.

Rishi Sunak is set to return to his former universities as he takes up two new jobs in the UK and America.

The former prime minister announced he would be joining the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government as a member of its World Leaders Circle.
He will also take up a visiting fellowship at the Hoover Institution, a think tank based at Stanford University in California.

He must have a very light workload as an MP….

Next Starmer will ban political parties opposed to the EU dictatorship.

I think that would be too risky and too obvious a strategy. I would expect him to do something more devious, say by finding ways of restricting funding to parties that are not aligned with the anti-Brexit strategy, or by silencing high-profile members of those parties

They already are, see the Stasi tactics they are enacting at the moment and read my comments on the DS, which are if anything understated.

Two-Tier and The Blob have cancelled democracy in the UK.

The anti-democratic EU rules.

I place him in the same category as Philby, Blunt, Burgess and MacLean.
