TeaFan Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Perhaps on principle then, people who can't be bothered to vote should have that right revoked. No, what is needed is the right to recall (i.e. de-elect) our representatives if a certain threshold of votes is met so that they can't implement things that they never told us about and have no mandate to implement. Plus measures to weaken the power of massive media organisations so that people are offered more variety of opinions about current affairs. That would get us closer to a proper democracy, but while ever a small elite are able to own and control the vast majority of wealth I don't think we can ever have a real democracy because they will always have so much more power than the rest of us.
