Knowledge
is Power |
We
need to agree on a common pool of information,
in order to have a sensible discussion about the
future.
Without a common pool of information, there can
be no meaningful Democracy.
|
|
There
are many problems with our political system, and with
our politicians.
A quick example
might be that we are trying to achieve too many things
with just one vote every 5 years -
- select a good
local representative,
and
- select a party
which seems as though it could govern competently,
and
- select a manifesto
of what we want to happen.
|
|
Rather
than concentrating on the problems, we need to focus
on creating solutions.
We need to work together
to use our electoral system better.
No one is as clever
as everyone, working and thinking together.
We need to elect our representatives
to serve, not to rule.
Putting our heads together,
and using a combination of technology and media, we
can share ideas, learn some of the facts and background
to what is happenning and what the options are for
the future ... and then select the best options. Together.
Creating a clear and powerful
description of the sort of country we all want to
live in. |
|
And
then we can elect politicians who will work on the
details, and deliver our collective agenda —
not their own.
We don't need politicians who
have to struggle to be experts in everything, when
they actually have no experience other than politics.
We need people who will
work on the details of what delivering what we want
for the future. |
|
Don't
wait for politicians to say what they want
to do. |
Tell
them what you want them to do. |
