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

It's impossible to create different types of power in one territory, that is why we need to listen to the majority of people

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.
