RE: The Future of Democracy

in #democracy6 years ago

Now my friend - first of all, I hope you are well! You've chewed out a very strong post here with a lot to consider in it :)
I agree with you easily that blockchain and politics will be working hand-in-hand. Politics and finance are wrapped up with eachother, so the same is going to happen with blockchain in the future. it is a given. Whether it is for the positive or negative is to be seen. Maybe there will be some of both.
I am still pondering what you have said about individual identities and votes being recorded in blockchain. The IDs are being recorded now (like it or not) and the voting system - again we'll see. Won't take too long. But I don't think it (elections) will be continuous. Politicians love an event!!
I do like the idea of blockchain increasing accountability and transparency. That is a definite positive for the future. No laundering the money books in this case :) About time too!! That is what I am looking forward to.
I'm going to read over this again and see what I missed. Block chain will be a positive for politics and democracy in the future. It will also take effort from us.
I have to put my son to bed - so that's enough from me. Stay well and happy :)

Thank you for your lovely comment and vote @mysecondself01. ^_^

Yes, there is quite a lot to consider above - both within the context of itself as well as other elements made in the same post. It took a lot longer to write this than I had expected - but the result is overall worth the while.

In truth it was at the 11th hour that I looked at what I was writing and said to myself: "Nah - I don't think its necessary for professional State-employed politicians to exist within this future system. The politicians of the future shall be delitants as well as corporate voices lobbying on behalf of their beneficiaries."

At the same time I also wish for this future system to be easy for individuals to access and contribute to the public consciousness - even if such needs to be in an entirely new manner. I am far from done describing the future of democracy - and I will revisit it with an aim of describing it in practice.

Any situation where corruption becomes much harder to pull off is a plus in my books - and it is one element that I really wanted to be included within the new system. :c)

Thank you again. Sorry it took me so long to reply! ^_^
