Direct democracy - Wherein sovereignty is vested
directly in the people, who, in exercise of their inalienable right to
self-determination and under universal suffrage, determine the
structure and functioning of their own governance. |

Direct Democracy is where the people have a say in

Dear
All, Like the five blind men and the elephant, individually we do not
know what is the shape of WDDM that would eventually work. However if we are
able to appreciate one another's point of view made in good faith then we
can conceive a workable definition and action plan.
We have
the above 6 definitions posted for voting. Each of them is
significant. May I suggest the following integrated definition:
DD is
a socio-political structure wherein sovereignity is vested directly in the
people without the intermediary domination of any political party and who in
exercise of their inalienable right to self-determination determine
their own governance through the methods of Iintiative, Binding Referendum
& Recall.
We identify the main obstacle to genuine democracy in
this definition and the key steps needed to achieve it.
May I suggest
that the voting on this matter be freshly
conducted.
