Referendums and elections are non-comparable. They are two different systems with different purposes.
Absolutely comparable. One elects a person, the other elects a policy.
One is just more direct in the working of the people on the government than the other.
You're being *very* silly.
We do not have flip flopping referendums like we do on elections, now that would be silly. With referendums we vote and the majority wins, not a difficult concept.
Why would it be so silly?
Two different systems with different purposes.
Non-comparable
With an election the majority wins.
It can flip flop.
Why not for a referendum?
And again. Both public votes, both for public opinion on how the government is to be run, both majority votes.
It's absolutely comparable by those variables at the least. Quit trying to stonewall and headsand.
Yes, I suppose we should just re-call the vote once an opinion polls shows a shift in public opinion. We'd get nothing done with constant referendums, so we vote, accept the result regardless of your since then enact the public's mandate
No no no silly!
Have a recall vote.
IF there is public petition to do so.
If the policy stands, no harm no foul, if it fails, democracy in action.
Democracy is a flawed system
If the majority NO LONGER wants the policy to go through, why stop them from voting against it?
That's a violation of democracy,
So?
Democracy is a bad system
@Deleted User Of course it's flawed silly. All systems are flawed.
More flawed than others then @DrRisen
Democracy tends to be the one that garners the most power and strength based on how we stand today.
End of story. Your governmental system got cucked.
Now sit your ass down before democracy calls you a felon and invalidates your vote. <:really:591181753625083905>

It's an inferior system.
*superior
Technocracy is better
It is clearly the superior system. The word you are looking for is "better"
@DrRisen woah your arguments are so convincing
It's not an argument, it's a statement of fact.
Democracy is the most powerful governmental system in the word, end of story.
Technocracy is superior as it means government is controlled by specialists. I.e. the economy is controlled by economists not just any one who is elected.
/*better
Not superior
Power doesn't equal good @DrRisen
