A new form of democracy
is required in Spain, in which the citizen has real power; in
which he is a politically active person all the time, and not
just someone who is active once
every four years in elections. He gets involved in every day
political issues.
This
ideal is surely shared by all democrats. The problem is how
to implement it; how do
we change our democracy?
Our democracy is not going to change if we do not first change
the electoral system. It is
through the electoral system that politicians gain their power
and it is through the electoral
system that citizens lose their power.
