I expect so. It is all too easy for politicians to evade issues when they
are presented by conventional media. However, the evasiveness is
very obvious when it stays on the computer screens of the world. I
discussed with other CITIZENS at a political meeting yesterday the
prospect that both Preston Manning in Canada, Federal Reform and Official
Opposition Leader in the Canadian Parliament and Ross Perot are just
establishment shills disguised as reformers. In other words, their purpose
is the delay and frustrating of direct democracy, not its implementation.
Manning, I would say is one of the most dishonest political leaders in
the last few decades of Canadian politics. Nothing has stopped him from
honouring the signed commitment all of his MP's make to direct democracy.
It can be done using one of many systems for an electronic infrastructure.

Sure it would. And what is stopping Ross Perot, computer tycoon, from
lending 40 computers to Ted White, MP for a trial of direct electronic
democracy in his riding of North Vancouver? The 40 internet connected
computers would go in shopping centres, libraries etc. Recall and
referendum proposals would go directly to the constituency office of the MP.
Presently there is great public interest in a referendum on the Nisga'a
Treaty which is a Nisga'a Nation-Federal-Provincial contract. Polls are
running 2:1 in favour of a referendum in BC. The BC Reform Caucus holds
most of the seats in BC. Starting with the Ted White riding they could
implement a province-wide system of internet kiosks which would first see
use for the Nisga'a Treaty. That would send a strong signal to the
government of Canada about the kind of democracy this entire country
should have to honour its Constitutional/Charter of Rights and Freedoms
commitment to a "democractic society".
If Perot were to design the electronic system for such a trial of
direct electronic democracy and lend the equipment to Ted White he would
prove his own sincerity and reap great political benefits. But the big
question is whether Perot is being any more honest with the public than
Manning.
