I posted this tread under Political Science initially, clearly this part of forum is not well visited so I post it here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What are the fundamental faults with electoral democracy. No, I do not buy the argument that this is a bad system but all others are even worse. A scholar of history would know this is not the case. So what exactly is wrong with the electoral democracy? I have identified the following: 1. Absolute lack of responsibility for politicians 2. The most expensive and inefficient system Let me explain the latter. I have conducted a brief study and found that there is a direct relationship between the level of democracy and the level of taxation. The more democratic a system of government is the higher are the taxes. Why is that happens? Because a party with any hope for forming a democratically elected government needs a large enough support group. In case of (labor, democrats etc) this group is "donots" and in case of (greens etc.) this group is people with low mean IQ. Let me expand on that. Donots are people who do not contribute to wealth creation of the nation. Unemployed and government bureaucrats primarily. People who deep down realize that they are superfluous parasites which motivates their hatred towards "the rich" or rather people who create wealth and consequently support these parasites financially. The situation with greens is even worse,their support group are either people with low level of intelligence or mental disorders. Both groups are extremely numerous which explains growing support base for green policies. On the other hand wealth creation requires intelligence, personal responsibility and discipline. These qualities aren't that common which ensures that these group is most often a minority. Therefore under a regular electoral democracy, parasites and idiots form the majority. Governments that draw their support from parasites and idiots are doing whatever they can in order to increase numbers of these groups, hence continuous degradation of education and ever expanding army of bureaucrats. In order to support these groups governments must spent heavily and consequently tax "dos" as much as they can and make the shortfall by borrowing. This takes us to the second problem with electoral democracy, an absolute lack of responsibility for politicians. Politicians know that whatever they do to harm the nation no punishment will ever be brought on to them. No, not being reelected is not a punishment. Consequently we end up with the system run by representatives of idiots and parasites for the benefit of crooks who have an absolute immunity from prosecution, what a great system! I am realistic in the notion that democratic scam would remain. Is there anything that would make it slightly more efficient? Of top of my head I came up with two measures: 1. I don't see how politicians are any better than directors of public companies, who are fully accountable for their decisions. All that needs to be done is for the corporations law to be applicable to politicians. So every candidate runs for elections with a proper disclosure document (Prospectus) and in case of blatant disparity of their policies with this document, they should be charged with deceptive and misleading conduct and acting in bad faith etc. These by the way are criminal offenses. 2. Voting should be done in proportion to the taxes paid. The government only redistributes and redeploys the wealth confiscated from people. Therefore people who contribute more should have more of a say. For instance, each voter gets 1 vote + 1 vote for every $5 thousand paid in taxes. Additional benefit would be a significant increase in votes cast by more intelligent people.
It is actually a two tier system, not one of 'parasites'. Secondly you wish to point out problems with 'electoral democracy' all the while proposing entirely new ones, seemingly out of your dark and twisted imagination.
Here are some great, and informative, videos that explain the whole system and methods that are more effective and efficient. So easy a child could understand it. Watch all 3 as they are well worth the time -Cheers http://blog.cgpgrey.com/the-politics-in-the-animal-kingdom/
I am looking to improve the system I disagree with from the start. Bad system cannot be made good it could only be made less destructive. BTW what is so dark and twisted about acountability? Watched it with great interest. Notice how problems started when they decided to abolish monarchy? Monarchy is much more efficient system simply due to elimination of elections and everything that goes with it.
Not accountability old sport, your imagination is what I was speaking of. You refer to second tier recipients as parasites, where is the accountability in this? You are simply in mimicry, or you have a twisted imagination. Do you understand at all how crime impacts a society and its economy?
