Do you any experience with small scale democratic systems? - 670 - 06-18-2014 12:33 PM
For example, local councils, committees, company boards...
If so, what was your experience like? Did they share the same issues as large-scale systems? Worse? Better?

Consider Switzerland's democracy. Read about it. It's direct democracy.
Direct democracy is practical. But it can be expensive in terms of time and money. Yet, least corrupt i think because everyone knows who does what. I do believe in smaller community who can make own decision for themselves. The main government must not impose its ideology on them but to make these small communities in accord, or manage them as a system. in this case, a small community has more right and more authority within itself.
learn about ancient city states as well.

city councils are awful. they hold meetings but treat concerned citizens like they are idiots. and then real idiots show up with petitions for crazy things and it's either a boring or mind-numbing event to sit through a city council meeting.
