should every policy be voted instead being decided by admin

Post Reply New Topic

e.g. why dont we vote on each policy like carbon emission tax and then other issue and then other issue and then other issue and then other issue ad infinitum and u get used to voting . u get addicted to voting ..

e.g. instead of letting the chancellor decide whether to let syrian immigrants in, why dont ppl vote on a referendum coz if something floundered ppl could start to blame themselves instaed of building resentmeny against the head of the state


its bizarre to have green energy and gay marriage putting together into one party while green energy gets an above 70% approval and gay marriage gets a mere 30%, tw gays are blocking green energy progress

or traditional characters like taiwan or simplified characters like singapore ? there are 3000 characters there should be a ballot with 3000 pairs of characters each pair with check box and let hk ppl decide which characters get simplified and which charatcers remain traditional


We can have at least one or two million polling stations across america and let ppl vote on each. seperate. single. issue . which it should have be.
Why is it that nine people could decide whether abortion remains or gets overturned and one single person decides whether we spend five hundred quadrillion dollars throwing into some desert or not.
Basically rn the one single issue of immigration blocked feminism, lgbt, blm, gun control, green energy, etc etc..
my polling station is like three blocks away i dont even have the will or energy to walk there .. pls build another one within 1.3-1.5 block.. muchas gracias.

Yes; as the Brexit referendum here in the UK shows, direct democracy is a great way to ensure a stable political consensus which can be decisively acted upon by the executive. (apologies, I just couldn't resist being a little facetious there - Brexit has had that effect on a lot of us Brits!)

should have had that democracie participative since like thirty years ago ..

what are we exactly voting for now I honestly don't know

Anyways.. introducing the concept of .. Voting Boothe.




voting boothe is, umm, a boothe where you can vote. They are installed each for every ten blocks I think ?

When u see that big Boothe there everyday, you just want to vote.

referendums should be held constantly to ensure all citizens have direct participation on the issues that affect them, their munipulicity, the federal issues stuff , and other paraphernalia etc.

I think u can also charge your iPhone there.

demagogie participative ..

We did, we voted Yes.

The fact is that completely disentangling your entire system of government without upsetting your way of life or your economy is very, very difficult. Most people did not appreciate that, and even today it seems many MPs don't appreciate it.

Direct democracy doesn't work. It leads to tyranny of the majority, where demagogues need 50%+1 to utterly screw over the 50%-1. It leads to the electoral making unfulfillable demands of the government.

Well...

You could experiment with dispensing with your Parliament, and just have every single little piece of legislation voted on electronically by the TV viewing public. Like they do now on TV talent shows ( like American Idol, Britain's Got Talent, America's Got Talent,the Voice, etc..).

In theory it might work.

Of course you couldn't screen to make sure that the voters were of voting age. Someone's dog might step on the remote and cast the deciding vote to go to war.
