Good morning.
I think that it is a very good System FreeDiver and a system that would work better here than anywhere else. It wouldn't be too hard for a population of a paltry 22 million to achieve.
With the use of the Internet, it might even work better and more efficiently?
The 'power' is then placed in the hands of the People and the Polititians are no longer making choices of their own FreeWill (like the USA Polititians do ...but hey, they go out and EARN their votes) , instead, we put them to work. Funny how things can turn, now they will be 'imprisoned' by the new System and put to hard labour!
Before you know it, there will be more Citizen Arrests than what all the Police can do.
I like it
It would fit a Republican model very well. A Republic that is based upon Provincials like Eden-Monaro, Gippsland, Capricornia, St Vincent, Centralia, Stirling, Pilbara, Pitjantjatjara, Arnhem, Cape York, Avalon, Orara, Orana, Riverina, Wimmera, Ngarkat, Goulburn Valley ...and of course, our favourite: the former ACT come 'The Shire' with its former Capital Hill come 'Bag End'
Install a 'Chairman' to head the Republic as an International Representative only, in other words - he holds no Domestic Power. (Rudd was a good example "Don't poo me China...I know exactly what you're saying! You buy our Resources - then its Top Dollar!") All Domestic Power is held by the people. We already 'mandatorily vote' so making a weekly effort to the computer and clicking in the yes/no or making a percentage vote wouldn't be too hard....no different than paying a Bill. Eventually, you would have a quite politically aware people using the fundamental KISS philosophy.
Culturally, Australian Politics should be simple, just as USA Politics is complicated ...as USA Art is simple, just as Australian Art is complicated (its one of our highest earning Industries and growing ...won't be long before the best Computers are made here to accompany the Computer Art which always does better than the USA efforts in quality).
Anyway, I'm refusing to vote any more and if they threaten me with a fine then I go to my solicitor and claim FINANCIAL ASSAULT along with MENTAL ABUSE when they try to cancel my Licence. I don't care, I need to make some money some-how and for an un-educated/un-skilled, bad-back, 40'ish, Farm hand ...basically all things 'simple' kind of guy. Going to the High Court again for a School Excursion might just be the thing I need in life.
STORY: "...and so it was that Bilbo Baggins stepped out of his front door and along the Road to face the UK Dragon 'St Smaug', while in another story, Frodo Baggins took on the might of the USA with its 'Eye upon the Pyramid upon its $1 Bill' and threw back the Democracy Ring"
