Title: Weighted democracy Post by: Salivan on March 24, 2018, 05:09:11 PM As we all know democracy is basically dictatorship of majority over minority. Let imagine situation where 2 political group exist, one with popularity of 40% other one 60%. In this kind of setup 60% always outvote 40% what is clearly wrong.
What I propose is so called weighted democracy, it means that during any kind of ballot, no matter the kind of it, if you succede your vote is factored with 0.05 penalty and assuming you started with 1 now you voting strength equal to 0.95. On the other hand if your vote faild your voting strength is boosted by 0.05 and assumig previous setup, now it is worth 1.05. I believe this kind of system would reflect better what we really want Title: Re: Weighted democracy Post by: HelperAdvisorsLLP on April 11, 2018, 10:14:16 AM It's impossible to create different types of power in one territory, that is why we need to listen to the majority of people
Title: Re: Weighted democracy Post by: squog on April 12, 2018, 06:53:19 AM It's true that democracy is ruled by the majority and the majority should have great numbers to back it up. A difference in one will leave almost half of the population in resentment. But i think the more sensible way to do it is to teach and create responsible voters. Voters who are well informed and well educated to know who to vote for since information is readily available. Since democracy's power lies in the people, then the people show be educated not just sheep to be lead.
