Would you prefer a nice dictatorship instead?
Participatory democracy is the lesser evil from what we know so far, and it's not absurd that only the people interested in the subject at hand go to the voting booth.
- hackerboos 11y agoPoor argument. As if direct democracy or dictatorship are the only choices... Maybe just a representative democracy like the rest of Europe.
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoRepresentative democracy is terrible. Italy's current prime minister was elected directly by the people only as mayor of Florence. From there he went on being nominated and elected by various representatives. The problem is that representation in politics is not transitive. B might represent A and C might represent B, but this does not mean that C represents A.
