- nonethewiser 5mo agoThis is part of Democracy.
- steve_adams_86 5mo agoI want to agree, and I do in part, but I don’t believe Smith is a particularly democratic actor and there’s more happening here that shouldn’t occur in a democracy.
- giarc 5mo agoShe may just be happy that MHCare is out of the news. However, I'm not sure if this is any better.
- 52-6F-62 5mo agoSmith and the UCP have not been acting democratically whatsoever. Trying to paint it that way is either ignorant or deliberately malicious. She was openly going around all standard democratic and diplomatic protocols and holding private meetings with the American executive in Florida. That is not part of democracy, unless you are simply calling it the corrupted part.
- JumpCrisscross 5mo ago> This is part of Democracy It doesn’t need to be. 10% of the population being able to put major policies to a referendum is a bit silly.

- marcusverus 5mo ago> 10% of the population being able to put major policies to a referendum is a bit silly. I think it's fantastic, actually. If the US had such a mechanism in place, we'd get term limits passed in a jiffy! In the absence of such a mechanism, the political class can simply refuse to act on popular measures. And while 10% might seem like a small number, the time, effort, and organization required to get 1/10th of the entire population to sign on for such a measure is actually a huge undertaking.
- SecretDreams 5mo agoNot like this it isn't.
