Have
you ever think if our elections system were, in fact, the main cause
to politic malfunction? And if we tried a new one? Democracy,
aclaimed by gouvernours and diplomates all over the world, justice,
freedom, equality, and so on. Is it working? Our world is better
than before? Yes, we evolved a lot, but I think, there is still
a long way to go. There are many ideologies and utopies, many discussions
about what is right and what is wrong, many decisions should be
taken globally by informed people or not. Information is the root
key for good decisions, that's why public classification is so important
in large or smaller comunities (e.g. country politics, classrooms).
How it works
·
We vote by chosing a candidate among all others, we select the best
of all, or the less worst!

The
winner is the most voted.

Why democracy
is failing
·
Lots
of people are losing credibility in traditional
election rights.
·
Abstensions
are increasing all over the world specialy arround young people.
·
Abstension is
a confuse matter, disagreement to available candidates and
indifference to politic life is some of the most used
arguments.
·
Democratic
election system is the main cause to politic bipolarization.
Why? Because systematic selections of one canditate among
several others corresponds to a bistate feedback information.
Your answer to election is: "x" is good and "the others" are bad.
Candidates learn how to react to a bistate information, this
means they will tend to agregate in two distinct
ideals. For you "x" is good, so candidate "x" fight
to be bigger joining more people with the same ideals to respond
to your good feedback. The same is valid for an elector
that says "the others" (including "x") are bad and "y"
is good. Electors tend also to bipolarize ideas because candidates
success depend from their bipolarization. Their bipolarization
reaction is due to our two state response imposed by
elections.
·
The
candidates are the owners of the absolute opinion vote of
themselfs, this means that people never classify candidates
true value, voters are limited to express a comparision between
the selected candidate and all the others. If all candidates decide
between them to be bad gouvernours, then there will be no way
to people express their disagreement, gouvernours will be elected
anyway whatever their absolute quality!

Democracy
viewed by the perspective of engineering has a constant uncertainty,
with a drift unknown. An analogy with electronic engineering means
that the resulting signal is floating, there is no ground connection!
