      <description><![CDATA[A Dreamer's Republic  www.dreamerrepublic.com
DreamerRepublic is a project designed to engage and empower the people of Canada in the politics and governance of our country. Many people feel disenchanted and underrepresented by our broken electoral and political system and we hope DreamerRepublic can channel this energy for meaningful change into learning, discussing, and the demonstrating that real democracy can work. At DreamerRepublic we post every serious* government bill in the &quot;Commons&quot; along with links with relevent information, so you can learn more directly about the politics of our country and where you stand on issues today.

We hope DreamerRepublic will bring people from all backgrounds together so we can discuss and evaluate the Bills of Parliament, and set an example, that democratic alternatives exist.

Polls indicate that actual majorities of Canadians would prefer a government that pursued peace,as opposed to war, sustainable and equitable developement, as opposed to free market capitalism,and governed in a transparent and democratic manner. Democracy is about more than just parties and talkingheads,it is about how well we are represented.]]></description>

      <title>[Global Democracy] DIRECT DEMOCRATIC NOMOCRACY OR EGOISTIC MARKETECONOMY?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[DIRECT DEMOCRATIC NOMOCRACY OR EGOISTIC MARKETECONOMY?
Money has the unavoidable trait of the accumulation. Alike the disease cancer becomes concentrated in a part of the body, while other parts weakness and die. 
The market-economic system is dominated by egoism and has no possibility to create material equality and peace through taxation.
The global governing negotiations between big leaders, follows continually. We are unavoidable forced to create global rules to govern the world. Money is little by little replaced by global laws. Our healthy reasoning and our good consciousness tell us to realize that it is better to replace money by global direct democratic e-laws and nomocracy (the rule of e-law)!
No war is needed. The clever and peaceful world-citizens need only to stop giving their extremely valuable vote to authorize politicians to continue the primitive money tradition.
We world-citizens can demand to create by ourselves modern human constitutional e-laws. IT makes it possible today!

      <title>[Global Democracy] draft Direct Democracy Initiative and Binding Referendum</title>
      <link>http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/forum/read.php?18,982,982#msg-982</link>
      <author>BrEggum</author>
      <description><![CDATA[Direct Democracy Initiative and Binding Referendum [draft]

Direct Democracy is the concept where the people have control of their government, can make law, change law, amend and change their constitution, recall elected officials, make policy and procedures for their community of jurisdiction etc.

Although the Representative Democracy we have generally works well, there are times the people would like to initiate their proposals without leaders, lobbyist’s or party interference. 

This proposal follows the Swiss method of Initiative and Binding Referendum. [I&amp;BR] The reason I like it is because it is simple, provides the procedure so each person can make Initiatives and vote on them. An Initiative may be submitted by any citizen of the jurisdiction although it may have been constructed by a group of people.  Town, City, County, State, Nation each have their own jurisdiction. Each jurisdiction makes its own procedures. Some Canton’s in Switzerland have I&amp;BR, others do not. The Swiss Nation itself has I&amp;BR.

An initiative describes why the initiative is needed, [purpose] the procedures or process necessary to accomplish it and the anticipated result. The cost could also be calculated.

The Initiative is than advertised so many people can consider it and approve or disapprove. Providing a consensus of approval, generally .1% of the participants in the last general election, the Initiative would be included in the next General Election. 

If approved in the Election the Initiative would be immediately implemented. The Binding Referendum makes the peoples decision final.
A double majority can be requested, that is a majority of the Canton’s / State’s approve the initiative as well as a majority of the general population. [popular vote]

I hope this draft can be useful for anyone wanting to write I&amp;BR for your own jurisdiction. Of course you would have to bring your I&amp;BR initiative to your jurisdiction and process it in your jurisdiction.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[[quote MiKolar]I agree that mechanical voting  (&quot;shouting&quot; an initiative and voting on it without much discussion) is not good enough. Formulating a proposal must involve a lot of discussion and consensus building before it submitted to a vote. [BE YES] 

On the other hand, nothing should be decided outside of such a comprehensive process of direct democracy. All the laws, including the formulation of what constitutes human rights must be produced by all people. If something is decided outside of the framework of (direct) democracy, that is not democracy.

 [BE &quot;produced by the people&quot; implies &quot;the people&quot; must produce each law. This is not so. Anyone can &quot;produce&quot; an initiative, the key is the people DECIDE by referendum if they want it or not.]

I am not sure what exactly do you propose - a group of &quot;wise&quot; men who will formulate basic laws/human rights and force them upon all the society, and decide what they allow to be decided by direct democracy? Courts that can change laws? That's more or less what we have now. 

[BE &quot;law&quot; must be implemented by the people with referendum. We can accept law as it is, however the people w initiative could change any law they see as inappropriate. Poor law seems never to be discarded now. Courts now often make &quot;emotional decisions&quot;with prejudice or quick decisions not taking in all facts. The &quot;judge&quot; has tremendous power. I believe this problem is because attorney's and judges have made much of the procedures for courts, and they give themselves power as do other bureaucrats. ]

Of course courts (composed of trained professionals) will continue to enforce the law (and possibly make sure that new or modified laws are not contradictory to all other existing laws - and if that happens, return the laws for modification by the direct-democratic process; but this this process is decided well, this should never or hardly ever happen). But courts cannot make law, including the basic laws or human rights law. That would not be democracy. All laws, all common values of each group/nation must be decided and accepted by all members of that group before they would be enforced. 

[BE] Yes, the problem is the Judicial Bureaucracy needs monitoring from us.

This could work only in a highly decentralized system. Each group/community will decide locally all that effects only that group. On each higher level (county, region/district, province/state, country, whole world) only such laws that effect everybody in the respective area will be discussed and created. The higher the level, the smaller number of common laws is needed. See e.g. http://www.basiclaw.net/[/quote]

[BE] We could develop groups of people who have interest, knowledge in certain areas we need to consider. These groups could make suggestions which could lead to Initiatives which could than be proposed. We need to develop an organization which supports our AIM's. Thanks for this note and everyone's participation. Bruce]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[There is more to this than simply shouting out an initiative and voting on it. We people have value systems which are really quite similar. This is how we can establish our major criteria which must not be violated. Some seem to be Equality, Freedom of Speech, Right to Petition, Liberty [defined by law]. We also need to construct a &quot;court&quot; of the people who can hold violators of the established world values.[police ourselves]]]></description>

Is it a game or a real-life attempt to create DD? It the latter, how do you plan to implement the decisions arrived in the 8th Wonderland voting process?

      <description><![CDATA[[quote]The people don't always choose what is right for himself in the field of health and in the field of justice.[/quote]
If you believe in the above, if you need to have somebody above all the other people who will decide what is good for them, there is no point to fight for direct democracy. Such an office will always be abused.

Human rights are changing and developing with time. At any given moment of history they reflect what the consensus of the majority of the society. The most progressive people are usually ahead of the majority, but that should be their role to explain and persuade the rest to advance and improve the human rights.

Direct democracy is possible only in an educated society where everybody is willing to participate at least a little bit. Again, if you need somebody more wiser than the &quot;mob&quot; to override any decisions made by a direct democracy process, there is no chance for DD. 

Anyway, the examples you gave of &quot;mob&quot; justice are not decisions made by majority in a DD process, but the acts of minorities (some of them criminal).

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,
I may be wrong but I think we are missing the biggest part here.
There is indeed something greater that the direct vote of people and it's called Human rights.
As long as human rights are opposed to any law voted by the people there will be not problem at all.
A constitutional controle might be as well a way to stop some abused in the field of public health code for exemple.

The people don't always choose what is right for himself in the field of health and in the field of justice.

Justice of the mob and medecine of the moab can't be allowed even by the suprem power of direct democracy.

To illustrate my statement :

Medecin of the mob : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2l1-kvKomg

Main comment : 
&quot;Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get﻿ one.
Don’t like abortions? Don’t get one.
Don’t like drugs? Don’t do them.
Don’t like sex? Don’t have it.
Don’t like your rights taken away? THEN DON’T TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.&quot;
 
Justice of the mob : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLEO199y04c

Main comment :
&quot;this is what happens where there's no﻿ DUE PROCESS&quot;

Thank you.]]></description>

Your question is obviously very hard to answer. It takes time and long tchat to get true ideas.
Lot of French people are actualy working on that in 8thWonderland.
We need to open ourself to your mouvement. We are from the same family but our language is still a real border to our association.
If you go in 8thWonderland you'll see that in spit of the constitution most of our forum isn't translated, like yours.

We want to make a translation machine directly in the forum. But we need help to do that and in fact we need help for all the second version.
Our programmers can be found on skype. Search for every people having a .8thW in there name.
If you wanna help us to build a better system than yours or ours please join us.
Let's build the new babel tower.

Thank you]]></description>

Example of two important global e-LAW propositions:

      <description><![CDATA[THE GOOD GLOBAL DIRECT DEMOCRATIC NETWORK
In the name of the global society, we worldcitizens seek a good global DD-NETWORK functioning including the following principles:

--- The good global DD-NETWORK is owned and governed by all the members/worldcitizens with equal status.
--- The good global DD-NETWORK is served by employed administrators nominated and paid by the members/worldcitizens. No leaders are needed.
--- In The good global DD-NETWORK, all the members/worldcitizens have the digital possibility to participate all the proposals, all the discussions all the decisions and all polling.
--- In The good global DD-NETWORK never authorize by election any person to represent any person or any persons except the computational result of general polling.(Every member/worldcitizen will be able to represent this result and himself).
--- The first goal of The good global DD-NETWORK must be the global substitution of advocracy (the so called repr. democracy) by DD and by Nomocracy (The rule of e-LAW).
--- In The good global DD-NETWORK the best method to rash activate many members/worldcitizens is to give them the digital possibility to train to propose, to discuss and to train constitution of global e-LAWS to govern over all on earth and to own everything on the earth instead of big leaders and big private owners.

      <description><![CDATA[Bruce,
It seems that many people everywhere are starting to converge to a similar view, Something I like to call a (world) (con)federation of self-governing communities (preferable self-governing in a DD way).
This may be a good proposal to consider for such confederation: http://www.basiclaw.net]]></description>

      <title>[Global Democracy] FROM ADVOCRACY TOWARD NOMOCRACY</title>
      <link>http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/forum/read.php?18,966,966#msg-966</link>
      <author>fredblomson</author>
      <description><![CDATA[FROM ADVOCRACY TOWARD DIRECTDEMOCRATIC NOMOCRACY
Advocracy (representative democracy) is a kind of elected dictatorship (extremity ex. Nazi and Hitler).
Practically all the worldcitizens agree that globalization and information technology are rash, continually and progressively developed. 
It is now time to abolish the advocracy and the old nations and to unite the worldcitizens with directdemocratic laws (nomocracy) to own and to govern over all and over everything instead of leaders and owners.
The law must control the property, the production, the distribution, the consumption and all the similar.  
We must message to all the advocratic governments and to demand to introduce electronic directdemocracy in their parties/orgs.
We must write to all the governments and to demand to create an UN-committee to prepare the global transfer from advocracy to nomocracy. Proposed name: UHO United Human Organisation to replace the UNO and the abolished old nations, borders, flags, religions, conservatisms, traditions a.s.o. from the global political life. 
During the transferring period the payment and the dependence of the UHO transferring team personnel must go over from the old nations to the worldcitizens. A small monthly fee (ex 1 $ per month/human) should be enough to guarantee the salaries and the other costs.
Farther proposals for the UHO activity:
1.	At the beginning the UHO organizing team must register all the worldcitizens with a combined unique personal ID number and bank account to be able to pay their fees.
2.	At the very beginning the UHO organizing team will be depended from support of the old nations during the registration period. The old national governments must active and with all the means assist the transfer from national advocracy to the global directdemocratic nomocracy.
3.	The UHO organizing team must accept the English language as provisory common language until the scientists can create a scientific, easier, more practical, more melodic and much better global language.
4.	After the transferring period, the UHO organizing team will consist of scientific webmasters and administrators. They will be paid by the worldcitizens, the law will take over and the old nations will go over to the history.
5.	When the material heredity will not be possible any more and the global owning and governing are transferred to the law, it will not be necessary for the worldcitizens to often participate global polling. It will exist real material equality, real justice and general prosperity. Scientific experts will decide correctly when not capitalistic and or other distinct egoistic interests will exist.]]></description>

      <author>BrEggum</author>
      <description><![CDATA[I agree we need to involve the people more and make it easy for them to participate. However the people must have a platform to speak. That is what WDDM can do. We can provide a simple moderated [to eliminate spam and foul language] place people can meet to talk. Of course people want to make decisions, the most popular initiatives brought forth etc. Thus a basic method to do that is necessary. The platform would be non-partisan simply a place to post.

Let's get talking.

      <description><![CDATA[Hey is there any towns/communities around the world that have constitutionally restrained (to protect my basic freedoms) DD systems in place? I don't mind if its still in a republic a republic state for now since I'm not really into the whole shooting folk for a political reason thing..(for the mo)

A colonies or something would be cool for my family's long term future, I would be willing to buy land to add to a private colonie or something, I think I could cover up to 2500 euros per acre.

as I just bought share in good profits business, &amp; I was thinking I'm going to do some scouting with my girlfriend for a place to settle down, &amp; start a real life, without the sick feeling I get every day when i open my door (&quot;eu&quot;) &amp; see the eagles of fascism in every day life &amp; people not caring any more.

If there is no such thing i guess I'll just go buy that Vin-yard in Chile I had an eye on ;)

      <description><![CDATA[Thank you for the invite. I like your blog! It seems WDDM is more active on email lists unfortunately. To compose an initiative it takes a forum and active participants. The world lacks active participants so I believe we must come up with Initiatives, develop them as best we can using people from as many country's as we can find. There are some world vote sites which could host initiatives for consideration. Simpol also provides a way to &quot;vote&quot;. Than, those which have high interest could be presented to the World community for consideration. After much time and deliberation the Initiative may be instituted by each country's adoption. I think the dangers of a World Government to the Country's Culture and sovereignty are grave.]]></description>

I've just become a member of this forum and wish I'd searched for Direct Democracy earlier. For the last couple of years I have been writing on this subject, especially in relation to the UK. My blog is http://interactivedemocracy.blogspot.com and I'd appreciate your comments and contributions.
Best regards,
