I think that democracy is the way to go but it needs to involve people more. We need to move away from the current representative voting system that uses gerrymandering in so many states.
I do not agree with people not voting for any reason, maybe it should be made compulsory, but I can understand why some think there's no point. We had elections in countries with some of the longest democratic traditions that ignored the will of the people in a way and gave political majority to parties that did not have popular majority. We have elections in which the leading party wins and pushes unwelcome laws based on a 25% share of the vote.
While I agree that we need democracy, it needs to be reformed. Have a look at Swedish and Swiss government models; they're trying out some changes. Estonia comes to mind as well especially for the near future, they're e-citizenship program infrastructure is being finished and I think we will see it used in governance as well.
Very good points. Reforms are surely needed. Haven't heard about Estonias program yet - will definitely read up on it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Have a look at https://e-resident.gov.ee/ . They're brilliant for doing this and are going to profit from it, I am sure of that.
I can't wait for them to port it into a blockchain version or for the first country to do it!
Wow that looks relly cool! Really looking forward to see how this thing will play out.
