The Nordic social experiment continues

Consider this party platform and tell me what you think:

- direct democracy
- a new national constitution
- public vetoes over new laws
- greater scrutiny of the workings of government
- strict safeguards for individuals’ online and offline privacy
- public ownership of the country’s natural resources

Sounds commie? Populist? Utopian? Well, these

World politics is changing. And the only ones still not realizing this are the established politicians and parties. And they are going to suffer the consequences.

I haven't stopped crossing them!

The results would be interesting. Though direct democracy sounds refreshing, voting directly instead of by proxy (representatives) might be practical only in countries with smaller populations, as counting millions of votes for every proposed law would slow the legislative process. I hope this experiment works well.

This should stop being an issue in the 21st century of advanced technology.
