Technology Marches In

As technology advances, certain changes go with it. The invention of the car transformed and changed transportation. The invention of advanced electronic communications, Cell phones,the internet, to name a few, Have changed ancient methods of communication Our methods of communications have been changed, And this applies to voting. Voting can now be done quickly and fast by using electronics. We can trust our money to electronics and we can also trust our votes.

In the old days of ancient, slow and tedious communications, It was necessary to have political representatives elected for the people in government, Because the people could not vote quickly.
Now representatives are not as necessary as they were. The people may have a more “direct democracy,” In which the decisions are made by vote of the people, As it should be, And not by the vote of “middle men” politicians.

Advancing technology decreases the use of middle men, This is a truism. The politicians are “middle men” between the people and government. Now the politicians are not needed as much as they once were. The people are now capable of fast direct voting on issues. There is no need to drag on a party of politicians to represent the voters on big issues, And to install politicians who often simply confuse the situation.

It would be a good thing to bring democracy closer to the people, By a direct voting on big national issues by the people, Direct Democracy, And not necessarily referring decisions to a now not needed representative party of politicians. Power is invested in the people, It comes from the people. And in voting on big issues, nationally and otherwise, The people more power to rule, And they should keep the power, Not handing the big decisions over to second hand politicians, Often only for themselves and their party, The nation often comes second.

Yes, the country will not be made perfect by more direct voting on issues by the people. The people will make mistakes, but so do politicians. But the country’s quality of democracy will be improved. And I suggest the people will prove far better at government Than the politicians have.
