Title: Vote of No-Confidence
Post by: Ping on February 26, 2004, 07:40:03 AM
Applies to both the American and Canadian elections.

There should be a box that could be checked showing No Confidence in any political parties.
Give the public a chance to show they are fed up with the corruption and crap that we are forced to put up with by all the parties involved.
 If that were allowed I bet that you would see a much larger turn out at the polling stations and would send a clear message to the government that people are not happy at all with the choices we have.


Oh Ya. Kiss the Canadian Health Care system good bye within 10 years.

I'll go a step further.

We have the ability to do all voteing over the phone. Send every registered voter a pin number.

Any week that a polotician gets enough recal votes, pull him out, run a 2 week campaign. Again, use the existing phone system for voting & tallying.

New guy goes to work monday morning.

Old guy is out on his ear.

In short, politicians would actually have to start LISTENING to us.

Imagine that.
Goverment OF the people, BY the people FOR the people.

Direct democracy wouldn't work.  It would be government by Oprah.

Vote for your representative and hope he does a good job representing your views in Congress.  

If government was less powerful we could just ignore its failings.  Unfortunately over the last century it has grown into a 400lb gorilla.

Regularly scheduled votes that take care of that matter in US every 4 years for most politicians. Recall elections fulfill the in between election needs.
