Democracy 2.0

4 posts in this topic

I’ve been contemplating into the nature of democracy and have had some insight into what makes for an optimal system of government.
 

Lots of changes must be made, but radical strategies for the entire organization of government are quite rare, here’s the thought process:

The best form of government is not monarchy as Plato says, but it’s rather a collection of the best of all worlds. Here’s my thought process essentially fused together the best from democracy, aristocracy and monarchy here’s some changes I’m thinking about in a practical sense. 

  • Every position in government can be voted for by the people. No electoral college. Make it digital, make it informative and seamless.
  • Legislative Assembly gains overarching control of law development with greater power to enforce law, and [easy] public inspections on president

  • 10 year term on presidency with no presidential term limits 

  • Executive department gains full unilateral control in the field of infrastructure development
  • Vice president system replaced by approved presidential apprentices
  • President is allowed to call in all captains of industry for mass assembly. Top 10 richest men in country, top agricultural production CEO’s, etc. must be at the president’s beck and call and given official governmental positions. 
  • General structural power such that government is stronger generally than collective business
  • The UN or equivalent organization may call upon a committee to be formed under suspected grounds of irreversible governmental corruption and societal capture. If found unanimously guilty, the committee is allowed to authorize a special tribunal on behalf of all government officials, agencies, and key institutions involved [Held Accountable in front of all nations, live]. Following the trial, further investigations will be conducted with Truth and Reconciliation Commissions given to all parties involved with an organized association. Any major key notable figures and philosophers may be brought in and accumulated assembly to discuss further steps [a general mass election] and if any major governmental changes must be made. 

So what do you think? did I cooked it?

@shenanigans what if the presidency were abolished? Why do we need to have a president? Why should we give one person so much power? Are there alternative governments that don't require such a position, and are there ways to structure governments that don't require one?

I like having a democratic council more than a president kinda like scotus where there is a chief councilmember voted on by the body, just a hunch i guess
