Constitutional change towards Direct Democracy
‘Aristocracy’ From ‘Aristos’ – meaning ‘best’ and ‘Kratos’ – meaning ‘power’ or ‘rule’ Government led by excellence. Australia’s system of Governance must become a merit based Aristocracy through a system of Direct Democracy based on the Swiss model with the following guidelines:
-
- Open List Proportional Representation as opposed to Two-party Preferred Voting.
- Citizen initiated referendums to create laws or challenge existing laws.
- Active sufferage only granted on the passing of a voting exam.
‘Liberal Democracy’ has become illiberal and allowed for Political Entities to engage in the Racial Gerrymandering – the importing of foreign cultures that vote in partisan blocks. Nations should have their destiny defined only by those with a blood or cultural connection to the founding stock.
‘Voting in an election is a skill, not a random intuition. And like any skill, it needs to be taught systematically to people.’ – Socrates
‘Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny out of the most extreme form of liberty.’ – Plato
