Current legislative bodies are a very appoximate representation of the total voters in very many counties (due to various criminal minority rule gerrymanders (such as in the U.S, U.K. and Canada), minimum percentage requirements in p.r elections (as in Germany and Russia), plurality elections, etc.. Some folks are in favor of Direct Demoracy (DD). Thus, should any law proposed by a minimum of around 40 percent of a legislative body (proposing new laws, amending current laws or repealing current laws) have a vote of ALL of the voters ? The basic question is what percentage of potential voters have the brains or time to examine (i.e pay attention to) public issues (even those that directly affect their lives, liberty and property) ???
