so does that mean that those people should have greater say on for example how the government spends its money?
However it isn't perfect and is definitely flawed still
so does that mean that they have a greater say on where the government allocates its budget?
I call BS on that. IF democracy was enforced in the UK the overwhelming majority of policies/decisions wouldn't have happened.
so does that mean that they can spend more on roads for the cities than in the country?
despite the need of the country being greater?
"Greater say on for example how the government spend its money" this is pointless lmao
NAh Kizza
one of many examples and it shows that literal equal representation is retarded
see the issue is you are thinking direct democracy, direct democracies don't work
Did the majority of the UK vote/support joining the EEC in 1972??
"yeah fuck fixing that bridge, this city street has pot holes that need filling"

You need some form of representation however direct democracy should be invoked on soul or constitutional changing events- ie BRexit
You do realize the citizens don't directly decide the amount of resources being spent on infrastructure development in different areas, right?
you realize that giving more representation to people from cities by definition means the people in rural areas have less representation
Direct democracy is actual democracy. Representative democracy is neither representative nor democracy.
and thus less say in reource allocation right?
No it isn't.
Its weird that you are picking this hill to die on, why dont you study greek democracy then come back to me <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>
and in the greater congrss thats how representatives work
Well of course, because that's obviously how it works
and youre retarded for wanting it to work otherwise
xD
@Storin Except the definition of democracy from the greeks is power of the people which means MOB RULE.
No it isnt
Yeah I already lost interest in this
This is pointless
because you know youre being dumb
Read how they actually conducted their votes- not everyone got a say
and you want to leave while the getting is good
The US is a Democratic Republic
@Storin well i mean only the upper crust of athenian society could vote anyway\
If you gonna come in here and quote Greek "democracy" you better be educated on it kizza <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>
Well yes actually, I don't want to ruin my precious record of 0 internet arguments lost
and they still had leaders
and orators
Or aistrocrat/autocracy voting.
