What's the line?

2019-09-16 16:24:46 UTC  

What's the point where you say okay, that's not democratic

2019-09-16 16:25:05 UTC  

people vote for gov-------->PM/gov------>chooses commisioner

2019-09-16 16:25:28 UTC  

That's not democratic, though

2019-09-16 16:25:45 UTC  

sorry but we live in a world of representative democracies

2019-09-16 16:26:08 UTC  

direct democracy is not available yet

2019-09-16 16:26:13 UTC  

for millions of people

2019-09-16 16:26:15 UTC  

A representative can pass legislation, etc.

2019-09-16 16:26:18 UTC  

That's fine

2019-09-16 16:26:53 UTC  

But how can they choose someone for the most important job, basically a higher position than their own, without anyone voting for it?

2019-09-16 16:27:10 UTC  

Direct democracy sounds like a complete nightmare.

2019-09-16 16:27:14 UTC  

we the people give them that power

2019-09-16 16:27:19 UTC  

by voting for them

2019-09-16 16:27:24 UTC  

to become goverment

2019-09-16 16:27:30 UTC  

Yes, but you don't vote for the actual commissioners

2019-09-16 16:27:32 UTC  

how is this not democratic

2019-09-16 16:27:45 UTC  

There is a layer of representation which is redundant

2019-09-16 16:28:11 UTC  

Again, I'm saying if there were 5 layers or 12 layers, what would be the line where it would not be okay?

2019-09-16 16:28:27 UTC  

Like a person that chooses a person who chooses a person who chooses a person...

2019-09-16 16:28:27 UTC  

dunno how many times i can say the same thing tbh

2019-09-16 16:28:48 UTC  
2019-09-16 16:29:17 UTC  

So you'd be fine with 3 or 4 layers of choosing?

2019-09-16 16:29:32 UTC  

i m fine with the system as is

2019-09-16 16:29:50 UTC  

voting for the commisioner wouldnt be bad

2019-09-16 16:30:01 UTC  

but still

2019-09-16 16:30:09 UTC  

Why wouldn't it be better for the president/PM to propose a few commissioners and the people to vote for the person they want to represent them?

2019-09-16 16:30:13 UTC  

we can change anything we dont like moving forward

2019-09-16 16:30:26 UTC  

I think we should just have a world war

2019-09-16 16:30:33 UTC  

yes tbh

2019-09-16 16:30:37 UTC  

and nuke britain

2019-09-16 16:30:48 UTC  

Greeks are jealous of the UK

2019-09-16 16:30:55 UTC  

LMAO

2019-09-16 16:31:40 UTC  

Rather live in Chatham than Crete

2019-09-16 16:31:42 UTC  

Also, the people who are directly voted for by the people can't propose laws

2019-09-16 16:31:55 UTC  

they can ammend them

2019-09-16 16:31:58 UTC  

and change em

2019-09-16 16:32:05 UTC  

What about repeal them?

2019-09-16 16:32:12 UTC  

dunno tbh

2019-09-16 16:32:19 UTC  

got to do research

2019-09-16 16:32:19 UTC  

I don't think so

2019-09-16 16:32:37 UTC  

You do understand how that's a problem tho?
