Well said, Chris.
But democracy, in each country, is a matter of voters' percentage.
What about, then if a country's majority abdicate to their
right-duty
of verifying policies-proposals-social theories, and delegate some
representative authority of their own for this verifying task?
Leading
to a collective practice to be consequently followed ?
It does not matter if such a representative authority is a
religious
or a scientific or a political one. What matters, it is that such
a
practice is substantially undemocratic, and the (epistemological)
procedure leading to it must be exposed, if we wanted to defeat
the current Representative Democracy people's majority in a
given country (perhaps not in yours).

once power has been in the hands of ordinary

you say feedback welcome. can i suggest
that the wddm concentrate
it's efforts and communications on specific
practical steps re direct
democratic administration, and leave this
kind of rubbish for those
who are also comfortable with equally
irrelevant and inappropriate
forms of government.
