hmmmmm yes --------- kinda
but, this seems to presuppose that democracy is a good idea
it 'might be' ------------ but, one massive flaw in how we see democracy - is to have democracy or what appears to be -
in a political system which uses voting -------- the election process
and that is what stuffs up democracy. It distorts it because political wannabes are purchased - money talks and gets paid reps put into power
it also means that aspiring politicians are egotists - and many have deep psychological issues - the very last people one wants as leaders
to me - true democracy hasn't been given a fair go -
the pillars of democracy do NOT DEMAND elected representatives -
and IMO - for a true test of democracy - we should try sortition, as opposed to election
we would still get some nuts in as representatives - but, I believe - nowhere near so many
all one has to do is to walk into a room which is full of people who are 'normal people' - but, the clear mental cases and the mob who can't comprehend basic concepts have been left outside
compare that to a room full of people who think that they should be leaders, or they think they are better or they have drive for representative positions for self gain
the difference is chalk and cheese
and IMO - that is the difference between sortition and election
less nuts and self servers
