Direct Democracy

Hello everyone, and welcome to tonight's discussion on direct democracy. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the idea of direct democracy, where citizens have a more direct say in the decisions that affect their lives. Unlike representative democracy, where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf, direct democracy allows citizens to vote directly on policy proposals and other important issues.

Direct democracy can take many forms, from ballot initiatives and referendums to citizen assemblies and online voting platforms. While it has its roots in ancient Athens, where citizens gathered in the agora to debate and vote on issues, direct democracy has experienced a resurgence in the modern era, with countries like Switzerland and Iceland implementing various forms of direct democracy.
