What really is the DU community's attitude towards democracy?

It will take 'politics as usual' to get initiatives put up for a vote.

Then again to see that the votes are not ignored.

It takes letters and comments to the powers that be to make the press follow the stories and make fair reports and get reps to act.

What I have done is, like I said, unique. If there were just 10% of the citizens to do as much or be so involved, we'd be living in a different political atmosphere. Alas, it is not so, and I've retired from the fray.

For those beginning to work for change, my advice would be to get involved at the local level by occupying space at all the public meetings.

I do believe as you do that increased chances to vote for matters would make for a better democracy and a more perfect union.

The cure for an ill democracy? More democracy.
