Our system of Government and laws were beased on the will of the people. That is why we vote to elect governments to represent the majority of the people's will.

However in NSW the will of the people seems to be violated by a current Dictator ("I know what is good for the people"). He at the present plans to sell off the electrical power industry for 99 years.

Governments under Westminster enforce laws that the will of the poeple theoritically endorce by their representatives. Westminster Governments are not based on the single will of the President, Dictator or Elders. That is why the Church Heirarchy or a Leading Political Philosopher cannot Govern a democratic State such power has been diversified to the people. Under our Westminster Governors and Monarchy they constitutionally represent the will of the people by ratifying laws formulated by Governments representing the majority will of the people.

Any other system of law demonstrating mercy and justice must be educated logically to convince the majority of the population of its superiority and balance. Then representatives elected to formulate the will of the people.

Let us hear of these superior, true and just laws. Otherwise the proposition is merely a racial winge.

Philo,

I think we can learn from the Ancient Greeks and develop a system to ostacize Ieema, from his party. He is afterall a temporary employee of yours'. As a democracy we can do better.

According to psychologists what can happen with he construct "power distance" is the more powerful one becomes, the greater the urge to decrease the power between oneself and my powerful people, say world leaders, yet, if you are state leader one will try to increase the gap between onself and the people/voters: e.g., the ANZAC bridge and the ALP rank and file over privatisation [Thatcherism/Reaganism].

The ability to ostracize a leader mid-office would ensure we keep a close reign on them.

On your point, but off the thread topic. Please excuse.

Couldn't agree more. Catch is, we need more democracy. Citizens referenda and the ability to remove a Leader or Minister from office not necessarily the Party. Of course, sensible checks and baances would need to be put in place.

Change would be hard as leglisators are there for themselves not us.
