DIRECT DEMOCRACY

Advantages

  • The result is transparent and is always clear what the nation wants
  • The party/cause that gets the majority of votes wins
  • people feel their vote counts they are more positive and inclined to use their vote
  • 1 vote means 1 vote so it is equal and fair

Disadvantages

  • not all are well educated on the issue so an ignorant vote does more damage than in Representative democracy
  • people have to vote on every issue so it becomes a chore and participation falls
  • All bills and information would have to be given to ALL members of society, this is costly and a waste of resources for those who aren't interested
  • minority's would find it even harder to make change

Evaluation

direct democracy is good for a one of even like Br-exit but to be used frequently is costly, people would get uninterested with voting and the minority groups wouldn't be able to make big changes
