The issue is how do you reform a system where those who control said system greatly benefit from it? It used to be the case that many U.S states did have multi-membered districts in the form of block voting. This was banned because it was used to discriminate against black voters in the south. Before the Jacksonian period, many states also had non-plurality multi-membered districts, but FPTP was consolidated and the two-party system created during the late 1820's and early 1830's. Personally I think we should go more radical than representative government. Liquid democracy should be the norm in developed countries, with federalism used to apply it to different scopes of interest. This is how the CNT-FAI managed the political-economy of Catalonia and parts of Aragon during the Spanish revolution. |
That is a big issue I agree and my point is only for the short term. Whay I want is too radical for it to ever happen in our lifetimes. Hint is I don't like states and nations as a concept and I am for democracy at the workplace.
