The deliberative decision taking fetish often overlooks that the core issue is contestability, not deliberative consensus. A perfect servant gets me water exactly when I want it, he does not bother me with decisions or commanding him. I advocate that a democratic order should become a perfect servant. Then voting is just a tool to contest a current rule and re-educate the governing persons about the genuine nature of their master-servant service. Best, André -- Too many emails?
