The Representative democracy is a form of government in which the people choose their representatives and then nix more to say until the next election in 4 years.

The representatives, in our case the MEPs, the various parliaments, the federal government, the country, the commune, the mayor, can therefore almost turn and rule as they think it is right. Recent example Stuttgart 21.

The will of large parts of the population, which should be the sovereign, is simply not taken into account, but is once again suppressed with police operations.

Lovely awake,

That’s what you’ve described very nicely, that’s why a big dh!

If I may, your answer would be the star.

the party dictatorship of the brd disguises essentially with the “representative democratie” or even “order representatives”.

a small inferiority of the delegated of the members of a party provides candidates who can choose a voter over a list. (na, how many representatives or representatives were there in the game?)

This apparent legitimation then continues in the gremis and committees. The aim is to leave as little as possible (influence) to the citizens (chosen).

in the German rich this came originally through war criminals such as bismarck, that these representatives come to the rich day in the 19th century by parties. later, the parties made use of this and so legitimized themselves.

democratie looks different.

We democratically choose our political representatives and then give them a free letter to action for the current legislative period. The politicians have an extremely willing police apparatus available for the transposition of their partially absurd interpretations of the electoral promises, while, in the meantime, voters, who are stupidly also the people, do not have a real action by any mistake or regulation. Well, it’s out.

Switzerland has a representative democracy (basic democracy), because there the meaning of the word “democracy” is also taken seriously.

Not the Members in Switzerland are in charge, but directly the people.

Not throughout Switzerland, but only in 2 or 3 semi-cantons, and not all too long, even the men who were at the meeting place with a sword.

You’re turning the terms straight through 180°.

Contrary to direct democracy, political decision-making is not made by the people themselves, but exclusively by representatives of the people. People’s representatives are elected. They decide independently and without intervention by the people.

But there are also referendums.

But the hurdles are high!

That’s true, even twice. Only enough votes have to be made for the introduction of the “popular decision” and then there is the 2nd hurdle in the actual vote, which is not by a simple majority. Oh, yes, there are the three. Varainte, especially liked to be used in municipalities. Each decision or amendment proposal, for example, on budget items, must be presented with counter-financing, otherwise nix is feasible. Well, you should do something slowly, Mr. Neighbor. Otherwise the gray tide will come.

Hi, a fraction of the voters selects some parties whose list is not influential. They then do their thing for 4 years, govern according to the type of landlord (Stuttgart 21, Hartz4, pension with 67, warfare, etc.), do not want to be impeded by referendums (conservation of the DM, minaret building agreement, withdrawal of bad writing reform, vote on S21, etc.) By referendum, for example, the hotels would never have received tax gifts, politicians their undamaged pensions, ruthless bankers their millions. Representative democracy is a mogel package that only fakes democracy (the participation of the people). If elections were to change, they would have been banned. Greetings Osmond
