People not allowed to wote on laws. Is it DEMOCRACY?

[Rasputin_RU]

You know funny thing is that in most of the world people do not get thier ight to wote on laws, only on polititions with thier policies.
However in Holland people vote them self, like a while ago on a law on speeding, and should penalty be increased.
Is that not a democratic way?
Country we live in is ours. We should choose.

Would this include statutory instruments? If so we'd be voting every two seconds, which would lead to the only people actually bothering to vote being OAP's and the jobless - hardly representational.

I agree on the look of it it looks complicated and difficult, but other countries manege it, the system could be worked out to do it in some sort of few things at the time.
Politicians a lot in here and back home, they promice but do not deliver. Do we forget about it, but if there was different way and we could choose our own way and would not need so many lying politicians, who spend most of money on policies.?

what each citizen should have is like one of these digital-quadroband wrist band thingies and when a vote comes up on the little screen like.

"do you want to ban smoking everywhere"

you can press YES or NO" the information is then sent back to central office and analysed and whatever the majority is is made LAW. (you would also be ble to view possible theoretical consequences for whichever way you choose to vote)

I love the idea.
and it could work.
and the power would be devided between people rather making polititians figh who is stronger or more powerfull, weather go to war or not. ETC.
Click yes if you want to go to Iraq.
