Dictionaries are generally poor places for finding good definitions. But voting doesn't even have to do with my point. Direct democracy is worse than representative democracy; it magnifies all of its problems. As I have said on other threads, I do not feel like being governed by people who are manipulated by campaign ads on TV. I want to be governed by the most moral, the most skilled, the most intelligent/knowledgable, and the most concerned about my ideals. How that comes about I care little; I don't worship any particular system, I'm just interested in the outcome. |
Actually Direct Democracy can and would work quite well with todays technology. I laid out a method and system in which could make the system work today somewhere in the forums a while back.
The main problem with Direct Democracy in the past was it was difficult to reach and get all the populace to meet and properly debate and vote what was required and interested by the community.... with the internet and cell phones, etc.... this could be done quite easily.
