Germany is the least democratic in Europe imo

germany wasnt in a united form till late so it shouldnt be counted

same thing with italy, very very old democratic states

the volk law is more important than individual sovereignty

Anyways the argument of "regional representation" is quite braindead

People vote, not land

the thought of people like andrew being able to vote is braindead

If more people live in area x than area y then area x should obviously have a bigger say in the democratic process

yeah is that how that works andrew?

The UK is definitely the most advanced in this regard, but that is probably because we've been pushing it since the days of Magna Carta <:shrug:349342983763656705>

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"

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

You need some form of representation however direct democracy should be invoked on soul or constitutional changing events- ie BRexit

@Storin Name one example of it not working??

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.

literally how for example state legislatures work

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
