Democracy... That often heard sacred word ...

The term has its origin according to Wikipedia from:

...the Greek word δημοκρατία (dēmokratía) "rule of the people", which was coined from δῆμος (dēmos) "people" and κράτος (kratos) "power"

.

The so-called 'rule of the people' is in my opinion a misnommer. People no longer rule, their "representatives" do.
To make matters even worse, those representatives at times change "camps" midway... and obviously will not resign a lucrative position!

Laws are not created by the people (or their representatives) but by lawyers, in legalese, a language that even lawyers themselves do not understand (but keeps them very much in business).

The closest to "rule of the people" is in .... no, no not the USA but in Switserland.

You might say:"So what?" Well, I'll tell you what I suggest to get you thinking:
1- Voting must be compulsory (a duty and not just a right).
2- As a starting point, the Swiss system should be introduced.
3- The best brains should be engaged to improve the Swiss sytem.

Guess why this system is not universally accepted and used...

It means accountability, participation by the people...

Governments and Politicians hate accountability and participation.

They are like vultures who guard their prey.
