Best alternative to Sodium Chlorate?

It was in the good old days when it contained a potent and persistent active ingredient called Simazine. These days it is pretty ineffectual like and over priced knock down weedkiller.

Again you can blame the EU. You can also "blame" DEFRA. Don't let the Daily Mail drive your image of EU/DEFRA scientists. |

Again you can blame the EU. You can also "blame" DEFRA. Don't let the Daily Mail drive your image of EU/DEFRA scientists. It's all part of the same system; the provincial governments are now basically incorporated into the federal government, in the same way as local councils are basically just an arm of the provincial government. Each province's bureaucracies are a local arm of the federal one. You can't draw a distinction. The major problem with the corporatist/technocratic system that has developed over the past decades is its unaccountability, which is there by design. A law is passed because some group of scientists/academics/activists/crats decided it should be passed; it's hard to tell where the laws have come from and there is little that citizens can do to stop them unless they can organise an activist group- a major undertaking- *and* get it accepted into the technocratic system such that its voice can actually be heard. Since getting accepted basically means agreeing with the system itself, it is hard for contrary voices to have any effect. You don't have to be a Daily Mail reader to disapprove of an undemocratic, unaccountable political system. The fact that the 'crats may believe they are making the right decisions on behalf of us little people doesn't make that the right way to run a continent. Ian |
