- You legally abdicate your responsibility to make any more political decisions.
- You legally assign all decision making power to the political representative of your choice.
- Consequently, you legally dis-empower yourself from effectively participating in any local political choices.
Consider the alternative: Direct Democracy
- Where you select a political delegate who will represent NOT his or her choices, but the voter’s choices.
- The public consensus can be easily measured on a non-profit, non partisan, perpetual, secure polling system, managed by citizens’ committees and/or BC Elections.

If you were elected to city council, how do you propose to implement a direct democracy system if you are the only one on council who believes in this system?
ReplyDeleteSome one said, "Step by step the longest march will be done." When one councilor is elected to advocates for direct democracy,DD, more citizens will become aware or it, and on the next election, more candidates advocating for D.D. will be elected.
ReplyDeleteAs the idea of D.D. expands, so will the number of councilors representing it. When the majority of councilors (5) are for D.D., the rules of D.D. will be legislated, developed, and implemented.
This might take a long time, but those who want it, need to start now.
