If there was a system in place to qualify a person first, such as being able to explain the background of a situation, not just a sound bite they heard, then it would be a good thing. However, since that would never happen I am opposed to it. There are too many people that feel they should vote, but do not research an issue past the tv commercial they saw and ultimately end up drowing out the votes of the people that have actually done the research, ultimately proving themselves to be nothing more than tools.

I don't know how it's like in the UK, but i do know that you don't HAVE to vote in the US, and even have to sign up up front to do so. But over here, we have a voting duty, which means that even the biggest a-politic person basically has to vote. (barring that they don't show up and get a fine) Which means that the system where uninformed ppl get a chance to vote is actually in place here lol. Granted, our mainstream news covering is broader than in the US, but that doesn't take away that a far right party is growing steadily for years now. They have a majority of 33% in the second biggest city of Belgium for example. (multi-party system btw)


Just to say, your analysis is quite to the spot. But i'm too tired to think of other options lol

Scared of it purley because I have no idea what it is.

lol

you bleb. Ill help you out here so you may actually learn something.

Ok

You know what democracy is right? basically it is the governing of a state with the consent of the people which live there.

this means that the leader of the government has to have a way of asking people of their opinion on a decision that must be made.

direct democracy is where every little governmental decision is made by the people, in order to achieve a more total democracy.

since about the times of ancient greece and now this has seemed impossible to implement, but now with computer and internet technology it is a sure possibility.

Direct Digital Democracy is therefore a govenment where all the simple and complex decisions are made by the people and for the people as once did in Athens.

Get it?

Great, thats all we need is taking up more of my already free time to vote on which type of toilet seat we should buy for this or that building. It's crap, so many decisions are needed when it comes to shelling cash to actually run a government. Why bother me with the little shit, if they fuck up, just let me shoot em.

I think we should do a recall election on our federal government.

Not all of the small decisions have to br made in DDD. Just the reccessary ones.

Oh and Sat, fill me in, what are one of....those?

The big decisions are even worse, what does the average moron know about state finances?
