Jim and Hamid,

why don't you come closer to reality? Please open your eyes, and you
will see:

Within the reality that exists, Politicians are NOT the employees of the
voters. They should be, but are not. *** I agree with you that politicians do not act as employees. The description of being employed and
having the salary paid is that of an employee. If the voters in each constituency supports a candidate that signs up for DD, and that
person wins, then there is a person in the system that will push DD

Politicians in direct democracy sytem are NOT employed experts and researchers who support voters. They should be, but are not. *** These
people are selected by the voters, which is OK by me. The voters in DD still have control

Therefore, Direct Democracy which we are minding about, is un-existent, within today's reality. It should be, but it is not. *** As long
as the system of binding Referendum and I the initiative is in place, the voters then have the option of accepting status quo or rejecting
it.

Who are the culprit, of this non-existence? Maybe the main culprit is ourselves, as far as we are unable to question the authority. *** In
DD the mechanisms for not only questioning authority, but changing the decisions that are made

Which questioning should start from the crystal evidence that our |"politicians"are not aliens from a distant planet. They are the
spontaneous leading authorities of the collectivity we live
in, whom we accept as official authorities without being able to question whether they are, or are not, the employees of the voters, i.e.,
employed researchers and experts who support the voters. *** The politicians are employed by the voters

Within the existing reality, they support themselves only - except perhaps a too few only - in their enduring struggle for (money and)
power. *** With DD this can change

(As a practical consequence: dear DD lower and activist, stop please asking the politicians in office for they to build up Direct
Democracy) *** It is up to the voters to put in representatives that believe in Direct Democracy

Regards,
ant
