alternative democracy


Alternative democracy is a democracy model with professional politicians and decision constant possibility of the citizen. To this end, separates "alternative democracy" direct democracy first | of representative democracy.



the separation

Either:
one can decide for direct participation and may attend all meetings and votes during this time. One need not be physically present. Conventional non-voters are automatically to decision makers.
Each represents his own voice to every decision - or have expired(if he wants).

Or, alternatively:
choose a party (for example, 4 years), his vote for this time and can not decide then logically. For the party voters so nothing changes.
The elected politicians used his own and in his name all selected voices.

Not much else needs to be changed in the process. There is still neither presence nor compulsory voting.



The president question

Now using freely selectable people of his confidence, which you may appoint as his private politician and a classification of the decisions.
The division may, for example, Finance, economics, education, health, broken defense. For each department to appoint a politician of his confidence. These politicians had as task communication of information on the subject and their votes.

Like the President can so its (personal) transferred Minister dealing with a topic, fire him at any time, decide to adjust or equal to itself.

To compensate disadvantages of direct democracy and representative democracy would be minimized and combines both systems into a symbiosis. It is his voice even starting to stand up for impending legislative proposals or transfers his always retrievable "Minister".

This requires "parliamentarians on demand", which have enough expertise on specific topics and topic groups. Payment thereof may for example linear to the number of their followers (x Votes decision) can be calculated. The merit principle would apply in politics.
Legislative proposals are discussed according to a threshold and submitted to a further hurdle for voting.

Of course the possibility to choose alternatively every few years a party and to keep your feet still or to the lifelong tie to a king is given, as before. The party then speaks with the weight of "their" voices.
