> This method relies on the idea of a cost, most likely monetary, proportional to the choice. This is obviously incompatible with core principles of modern democracies. A standard non-monetary proposal is to have all issues voted on separately, and allow voters who choose not to vote on a particular issue to bank their votes for the next election. This is obviously incompatible with voting by representatives in a representative democracy, but isn’t incompatible with direct democracy, which is how many issues are decided in local elections.
