	Direct Access Democracy Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Direct Access Democracy Canada is not registered with Elections Canada, the Canadian government’s election agency, and therefore is not recognized as an official party.
		DAD Canada would provide direct access communication means (Internet, public television, telephone, town meetings), and a direct access democratic structure to provide all members equal access to obtain information about government policies, participate in the assessment of the policies, modify, improve and adopt or reject policies using free access and direct voting.
		DAD Canada Representatives would be responsible for their decisions only to the community that they represent, and not to the party leader.

	Direct democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Direct democracy was first experimented with in the ancient Athenian democracy of ancient Greece (beginning circa 508 BC (Finley, 1973)), which was governed for two centuries by a general assembly of all male citizens, by randomly selected officials, and one elected representative charged to command the army of the city (strategos).
		Interestingly, direct democracy models in practice usually focus on the adversarial process of advocating and choosing one of usually two broad or sweeping options defined for the citizens by experts.
		Even in states where direct democracy components are scant or nonexistent at the state level, there often exists for deciding specific issues, such as whether a county should be "wet" or "dry" in terms of whether alcohol sales are allowed.

	1 Emergent Democracy
		By direct democracy, we don’t mean simple majority rule, but a system that evolves away from the broadcast style of managed consensus to a democratic style of collective consensus derived from “many-to-many” conversations.
		Democracy is itself an incomplete and emergent political system, and must, by its nature, adapt to new ideas and evolving social standards.
		Representative democracy allows leaders to specialize and focus on the complex issues of governance, which an uneducated and uninterested general population could not be expected to grasp.

	Direct Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Direct democracy places government decision making processes in the hands of the citizens who support the nation.
		So one must consider if we have democracy at all when we are not specifically voting on any issue at all but on a emotionally solicited reaction to one or more issues out of many that a candidate may forward once he has profiled the constituent demographic.
		Direct democracy means that the people have a role in the decision making process and does not specify how the ballots are generated and processed.

	Equal or Equitable Direct Access Coverage? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		One of the fundamental decisions to be made in organizing direct access broadcasts by the parties is whether slots are to be allocated on the basis of equality or equity.
		If direct access is allocated on a fair (or equitable) basis, this ensures that all parties are given an opportunity to speak to the electorate, roughly in proportion to their popular support.
		All these arguments clearly apply primarily to Criteria for Allocation of Direct Access Time - that is, direct access broadcast programmes that are available free to parties.

	Direct Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I find the fault in democracy is not the politicians who are left alone by populace apathy but the populations unwillingness to give a damn or just complain about it under their breath.
		The goal of Direct Democracy and the variants is to create a system of participation so that the population has a clearly defined role and path to express their will on issues rather electing personalities on their smiles and the number of babies they can kiss.
		Now everything you say about direct democracy may be true, but we have even less of an idea of what form it would eventually take than we do with PR.

	The Seduction of Direct Democracy
		The concept of democracy is an ancient one, originating with the direct democracy of the Greeks, and has evolved over the three thousand years until it has become the representative democracy of today.
		After all, democracy is based on the Greek phrase for "government by the people", and can you get any closer to the people then through "direct democracy?" The call is alluring and seductive, and it is a call that must be resisted.
		In the current "representative democracy", there is a usually a moderation of views, as representatives will reach compromise in order to get enough votes to pass their measures.

	5. ACCESS TO DIRECT DEMOCRACY
		The initiative process is the closest thing to direct democracy outside of a village town meeting.
		The usual process is that someone composes a law or other proposal and gets it "qualified" for the ballot by getting a specified number of registered voters to sign petitions that it should be on the ballot.
		The National Initiative for Democracy (NI4D) proposal http://ni4d.us/nationalinitiative.htm features an initiative process with no "contributions by other than natural persons," disclosure of funding, and four different deliberative processes -- public hearings, a citizen deliberative council, an advisory vote by the relevant legislature, and an intense public information campaign designed to provoke widespread, informed public dialogue.

		The direct democracy experience of ancient Republican Rome, modern Switzerland, and our modern 23 active I&R (initiative and referendum) states demonstrates that any polity is better with both types of problem-solving fully engaged -- especially when the top-down problem-solving is regulated to minimize corruption.
		This is true democracy -- democratic governance by sovereign civil society's binding referendums in accord with all of our fundamental governance rights, without officers or any other sort of middlemen, without interference from government, at each level of jurisdiction within the nation.
