All democracies have a big problem...

they are based on voting sytems from the 19th or 18th century. things that made sense then for logistic reasons could easily be overcome today.

but noone in power in any country wants to modernize these flawed systems... cause why would you change a system that put you into power anyway. this is true for all political sides, and one of the main reasons why people loose their faith into politics.

anyone who calls themself a democrat (and i dont mean the political party from the usa here) cannot possibly support systems like we are using them.

Do you have any better proposals?

It's easy to point out flaws in an existing system, but the hard part is coming up with ways to fix them.

@MistyCee yeah... a ranking system, where if your first chocie is out you automatically have your 2nd choice count and so on till there is a consens of candidates. also splitting votes systems...

all that stuff would have been impossible in the 19th century but its easy to do today
@CynicGirl interesting.
