Edemocracy (properly structured) should replace Representative Democracy everywhere.

The Democratic Systems were created when there was no way each and every one of us could participate in Parliaments because of limitations of Time and Place. Thats why we give rights to One Party Group or the Other Party Group to rule us for a certain period say 4 years in US.But with the advent of technology the Place and Time Limitation is already extinct. We are participating in discussions on wide range of subjects, we are voting regularly in web polls, we initiate new issues to be debated, so what a Parliament is doing, we citizens are doing WITHOUT THE BIG COST THAT OF Parliaments.As the limitations are gone, now we can start a Citizens initiated Bill, we can debate on the bill online and vote on the bill and make it a law. The entire process is immediate rather than the existing long PROCESSES INVOLVED IN SENATE/ HOUSES. Andy Williamson one of the pioneers in the field of digital democracy says ,"Bring Democracy back to the public, not only through their browsers but increasingly through their smartphones." So, expert says the technology is available right now. Ref.1We so far believe one or the other Person will have all the capabilities to Guide our Nations. It is nothing but fascination or hero worship. In the current complex situation like recession, growing poor and rich divide, health, superannuation problems, unemployment, Political secrecies in the name of classified documents, the threats to freedom of everything, etc. it is no more possible for a single person or a small group to understand what is required for a country. What we thought yesterday to be perfect system is shaking today and cries for change! How can we expect One President whoever it may be to address these issues with the expertise guidance of few people sitting with him. All the above situations arise because of the time and space limitation in representative system which aims only at compromise with two sides taking two view points and merge at a common acceptable end which ends dispute for the time being and produces results which are acceptable but not desirable. But after some time the compromised issues crop up in different forms again for more and more rounds of discussions and resolutions. "Representative democracies Ref:4Our edemocracy could use synthesis as method of seeking long-term, mutually-beneficial solutions to problems. It seeks solutions which, unlike the proposals of conflicting sides, achieve the general aims of both/all sides of a conflict. Such solutions are more beneficial to all parties and thus more enduring. There is no downside to synthesis except the difficulty in producing it. In our Edemocracy we would try to eliminate even this "difficulty in producing the Synthesis" to make it faster.The TIME is NOW FOR people to take over the system electronically and govern the Country for themselves, rather than just debating on who is Better and end up in recession, war and misery. In Edemocracy some Political structure will be there. Those in the hierarchy will do what people tell them in referendum or polls on each issue on routine basis. The major change is here THEY WILL BE MESSENGERS WHO WILL LEGISLATE WHAT THE PEOPLE WANTED ON ONLINE SYSTEM.The Edemocracy system I am talking about is somewhat like this:1. The entire US Senate/House structure will remain the same initially.Parliamentarians can initiate and discuss Bills as it is today. But the change is in voting.2. All citizens will be given secured ids and can electronically (SMS,email,online,etc.) a) initiate bill or referenda b) debate on both Citizen as well as Parliamentarian initiated bills -in text,voice,video modes c) Vote on each and every bill and referendum both citizen initiated and Parliamentarian initiated.3. With due Safeguard to Individual rights,minority and disability rights,international conventions, the majority votes will carry the bill into Rules.The above is a broad definition This is a start that needs further work. This debate is all about whether Properly structured Edemocracy should replace Rep Democracy but NOT about how to structure Edemocray so we leave that to further discussion in a new debate.
