In light of the world events of the last few years one must conclude that there is something rotten in our 'democratic' system of government. I have come to the conclusion that it is time for a NON-VIOLENT Revolution; I call it CONSTITUTIONAL REVOLUTION. The reason for this title is that nearly every country in the world has Constitution that, among other things, defines the system of government in that country and the manner in which the representatives are elected for the representative bodies, collectively called The Government.
My proposals for the revolutionary changes are, in short, the following:
[1] Abolition (not prohibition) of the political parties;
[2] Replacement of the periodic elections with the "Perpetual Elections", that is, instead of having an election every 3, 4, 5... years for every (or half) of a representative body, have an election (say) every week in (say) one single electorate;
[3] Abolition of the traditional process of "forming the government" where we have the "government" and the "opposition". Once the members of the representative body (or bodies) are elected they ARE the government (mind you: there are no political parties); the members so elected will elect from among themselves as many ministers (and their deputies) as they think fit.
This is for the start. Once, and if, the discussion develops, I will present the reasoning behind my proposal and (attempt to) explain the advantages of the proposed system, the way to get started and the way to adapt the existing constitution in order to enable the change.
