Electoral Democracy

Constitution Framework for BC

Adopt a constitution which establishes the territory now known as the Province of British Columbia, as a new "Political State" united to Canada.

The New Constitution for the territory known as British Columbia shall include in simple and concise language the following:

1.- Adopt, by referendum, the name of this new political state.

2.- Adopt The Charter of Human Rights, as an overriding legislation.

3.- Establish a clear understanding that the citizen’s choices of this new political state are supreme, not the Queen and her Governors, not the Legislative Assembly and Canada’s Parliament, nor businesses interests or corporate lobby. All legislation shall be initiated and supported exclusively by the majority of citizens, via referendum.

4.-From a list of candidates, submitted by citizens for each riding, on an official, computerized, perpetual electoral system, the candidate with the most votes shall be the official Political Delegate. The position shall last as long as the majority of citizens maintain support for that Delegate.

5.- All Political delegates shall legislate not their own initiatives, but only the citizens' decisions made by an ongoing referendum.

6.- All Members of the Legislative Assembly shall select a "Minister of State" who shall facilitate the Legislative Assemble proceedings, and represent “The State” Nationally and Internationally. The position shall be subject to recall.

7.- All Political delegates shall vote to select Ministers who shall direct and supervise the bureaucratic operations of the Ministries. The positions shall be subject to recall.

8.- All Political delegates shall vote to appoint “The State” Judges. The positions shall be subject to recall.

9.- National and International commitments and agreements shall be accepted or rejected by citizens on an on-going referendum.

Direct Democracy with Miguel Figueroa

Comunist Party Leader Miguel Figueroa, in his recent tour across Canada, explains his answers to some of the Nowpolling.ca topics.

Un-accountable Electoral Systems

Computer technology is a double-edged tool for the development of democracy. Depending on who controls it, it can be abused and misused, just like the ideology of democracy itself often is, or it can enable the implementation of Perpetual-Direct-Democracy.
Non-profit, non-partisan associations, with a secure and verifiable system on each riding, should manage the electoral and referendum process, not the vulnerable and unaccountable systems run by for-profit corporations.
