I support half proportional representation and half of members
elected as they are today, giving ample support to local
representation [MMP].
It is also important to limit the power of these elected people
by incorporating a very clean and respectful system of Referendums
for all issues that affect the general publics lifestyles or issues
that have to do with laws and the court system as well as banking
regulations for example. This referendum system requires strict
rules to follow concerning how information is distributed and the
general public is informed about all the issues that a referendum
may raise. A clearing house for questions asked by the electorate
and a reasonable system of getting an issue to the state of
referendum. Referendums must be binding as well so elected
representatives have to live with the publics decisions. It must
also be illegal for corporate entities and Labor Unions to vote or
participate in referendums in any way at all, not even
in desmination of information about the referendum other
than through he official route. Strict limits on money spent by
individuals about specific issues that may affect them adversely of
for personal gains.
Representative democracy is today equal to electing dictators and
that can only be healed through citizen participation and very
concise education or an official chanel for citizen information and
questioning of the issues.
Thank you for your work and best wishes in creating a fair
democratic system so we can minimize the use of protests to make a
point about an unfair issue or law.
