- ignifero 15y agoIt's not criticism, i m just skeptical if this model can be scaled to big countries.
- daedhel 15y agoI share your skepticism. You see, I have been thinking a lot a bout democracy, decentralization and recent Iceland politics. My conclusion is that the smaller you go, the more democratic olitics are. Period. I share my criticism of the political globalisation, just to be laughed of afterward, but I still believe that the smaller, the most democratic, as is explified in a great way by Iceland.

- daedhel 15y agoOf course, the country has to be free from any corporation control. It has to be not that interesting in term of ressources. Of all the small countries, this leaves, well, ahem... Iceland.
- ignifero 15y agoI believe it's mostly a matter of how mature and educated a society is. See counterexample also: the ban of minarets in switzerland (which practices some form of direct democracy)
