Roe v. Wade being overturned is making it so states can vote on their own abortion policies. That's closer to a direct democracy and closer to local democracy.

Roe v. Wade being overturned is making it so states can vote on their own abortion policies. That's closer to a direct democracy and closer to local democracy. You've also referred to Brexit as a suboptimal result, when Brexit was a move about breaking away from a large bureaucratic body of mostly unelected decision makers. The EU is the least democratic body in the West, so I'm having a very hard time understanding exactly what it is you want.
Also, just wanted to point out that you said you'd rather live in a "representative democracy" when talking about direct democracy. Representative democracy is another term for a republic.
- alasdair_ 4y ago>Representative democracy is another term for a republic. Not really. Since we're talking about Brexit, it's worth noting that the UK is a representative democracy but is definitely not a republic.
