What is Direct Democracy הדפס דואל
Thursday, 14 June 2007
Direct Democracy is a system of government Whereby the public at large is the supreme sovereign. Under this system, every citizen may actively participate in managing the affairs of the state. This includes legislation, decision making and monitoring the executive and judicial mechanisms. Unlike the current system, where representatives of the public make the decisions, under Direct Democracy all people eligible to govern take part in making those decisions.

Technologically, the time is ripe for implementing Direct Democracy. Such technological tools as the Internet, cable communication and the telephone currently make it possible to construct a system which will allow millions easy, cheap access to voting, without fear of fraud.

Direct Democracy is not Anarchy, and the rule of law is upheld, as well as law enforcement organs such as the police and the courts. The difference is that managing and monitoring them becomes the province of the public.

Direct Democracy upholds hard-to-change Basic Laws, which ensure basic civil rights and protect minorities from a dictatorship by the majority. These Basic Laws are part of the mechanism of checks and balances, intended to protect the public and provide some balance during the public’s first experience of this form of government.

Under Direct Democracy, freedom of speech and freedom of the press are maintained and reinforced. Freedom of speech and the media are an important element in presenting ballots and discussing them.

In order to avoid an excess of votes and polls, several existing models use the principle of a qualifying threshold in order to ensure that only the most important decisions will be brought forward for public debate and decision. Other issues will be dealt with by civil servants, elected officials or state employees, who answer to the public. Should decisions by these bureaucrats not meet public approval, the public will be authorized to annul them and make its own decisions.
