Who can be the Voters in a DD, Direct Democracy?
In early 21st Century of Khrishtyabda,
hardly anywhere ‘Real Democracy’ i.e. ‘government of the people’ is found on
the Earth.
The simplest and the real meaning of Democracy is
presented as “Democracy is the Government by the people, for the people and of
the people” by the great man, Mr. Abraham Lincoln.
In a Democracy everybody must have equal
opportunities and equal rights apart from expressing one’s views.
For large countries where it was not possible to
opine collectively at a place to decide any issue, ‘middlemen’ working as the
representatives of people mostly called MP, parliamentarians collectively
decide on the issues, giving birth of ‘Parliamentary Democracy’. These
‘middlemen’ generally work for making money, work for their Party or for their
Leaders instead of the people or the country. Thus, the very purpose of
Democracy is lost in so called ‘Parliamentary Democracy’.
‘Parliamentary Democracy’ was quite suitable for primitive type of Imperialistic democracies
or monarchy where some sort of
democratization was made keeping the interest of the monarch. Now it is high
time to get rid of such so called democratic system where a group of people,
the Monarch and his / her descendents have very many privileges compared to
other people.
Internet or web was not originally formulated by
the government of any country, but by the people themselves. Internet is a
great tool which has made communication very fast, simple and widespread.
Similarly, with the development of electronic
communication system and internet in the 21st Century, the day of
“Earth Direct Democracy” or EDD is not far off. In fact just a start of “Direct
Democracy” or DD in some country is to be made in which the role of the
‘middlemen’ or MPs is nullified completely. For any major issue the Citizen can
vote directly through internet, be it the Election or Recall of the President
or the Prime Minister, or the Chief or members of the Local Body.
The referendum on any issue in a ‘Direct
Democracy’, DD would be so simple.
For Call-Back of any person elected by the
citizen and holding a post including the President and the PM, the citizen
themselves decide and vote for the Call-Back as required. For Call-back,
instead of simple majority, 60% or 80% vote as decided earlier in a referendum
may be needed.
What is Direct Democracy?
Simplistically: Direct Democracy means
“Government by the people, for the people and of the people” in which:
(a) The ‘really ruling persons’ including the members and office bearers of
Legislative, Executive, Judiciary, the members and the Chief of the Election
Commission, Investigating Agencies etc are directly elected by the people or
citizen of the concerned Area by casting their Votes electronically through
Internet or web, or as already decided.
(b) With the power of Call-back of the elected persons by the people, when
required.
(c) All major issues like approval of
the Constitution, the revision of the Constitution are decided by the
referendum involving all the citizen of the Area; irrespective of their cast,
creed, religion, tribe, language spoken etc.
Here Area means The Earth for ‘Earth Direct
Democracy’, Asia for ‘Asia Direct Democracy’, a country, a corporation area and
so on.
Who can be the Voters in a Direct Democracy?
All the citizens of a particular Area shall Vote for referendum or Election
on any issue irrespective of distinguishing between them on any account
whatsoever, except those who are minor, mad, judged culprit, etc.
This is quite Simplex or simplistic, not with the innumerable types and
complexities of ‘Initiatives, referendum etc’ described in Western type DD,
Direct democracy.
** The whole idea is ‘In a democracy, the people or the citizen should be
‘The Rulers’ themselves, not anybody else as Mahatma Gandhi thought, not any
king, queen, governor, Rashtrapati or all such other terms which smells ‘Daasataa’
i.e. ‘slavery’; neither for name shake nor in deeds.
In fact, the word ‘government’ or ‘Saasan’ and the like should be abolished
and recast as shown below as some examples:
Present word Suggested Words
Government Administration,
Management
Governor Chief
Administrator,
Minister, ‘Mantri’ Consultant, Manager, ‘Sevak’
President President
‘Rashtrapati’ ‘Rashtradhyax’,
President
‘Mantri’ as rrp* ‘Sevak’, [*rrp = really ruling person]
Chief Minister as rrp Chief Server
‘Mukhya Mantri’ as rrp Mukhya Sevak
Prime Minister as rrp Pramukh Sevak
Rajyapal Prantpal
Words like the following should be used in
Democracy, instead of conventional words indicating: the presence of King,
queen, kingdom, imperialism, emperor, minister (when no king, why Minister?)
Experiment: on DD in
Delhi in Dec. 2013,
In Sri: Puz 9113.
An Experiment DD as DDD = Delhi Direct Democracy is in progress to form the
new Administration of Delhi by AAP, Aam Aadmi Party ‘Sevaks’ of Delhi.
