"I was watching a very interesting video about it from richard vorbes, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woLDcEE3nd0 He talked about many things of why the current system and government doesnt work and I must say that I agree with him, he also mentioned how new partys wouldnt make much of a difference. He is not saying that we should set up another party to go against the 2 party system, he is talking about a completely separate type of government, where the people should have the monopoloy on how things are run not them and to set up rules and such things too. What do you think of that idea? I like that and isnt there already such kind of system also called direct democracy? Because with direct democracy the people decide on the policies "Policies decided by the public at-large is a terrible idea. As we saw in 2016, the average person has neither the knowledge to make complicated decisions, nor the time or inclination to learn about the subject being decided upon. | |||

"This x1000 Make it a requirement to do a test before voting. Under 80% and your vote doesn’t count Most people have no idea why or what they’re voting for Democracy is a lie when the majority of people are too thick to understand the things they are voting on, and too easily misled by misinformation and propaganda | |||

"Make it like Starship Troopers. You cannot have any kind of responsible role within government or authorities without first performing national service. Maybe take a look at how rich countries (for their size) are run, like Denmark, Switzerland, or Saudi Arabia." Yes. I also thought of those countries and especially switzerland, as they have direct democracy and it works really good to there | |||
