- KingOfCoders 3y agoYes, there is not enough democracy in the world, just like with the UKs house of lords or the US supreme court. Unelected people making important decisions isn't democratic. Also this Electoral College thing in the US. People should be able to directly vote for the US president instead of an "Electoral College". One person, one vote. Ursula von der Leyen wants to be relected, but people in the EU are not asked about this. If find this highly suspicious. I also for example find the UKs habit suspicious, where the change of a prime minister does not lead to a general election. The UK probably has the largest number of unelected prime ministers of any western country. And it's not voted for like the US president (Electoral College aside). After being voted into the parliament with a majority, an UK party could elect any prime minister they want. I've recently talked to someone from Switzerland about all of this, where much more is voted on by the general public, and how this changes peoples mind, about how they feel responsible for politics. People don't see a dividing line between politics and themselves. Wish more countries would be like Switzerland.
