Lately I’ve been wondering why being dictated to by representatives selected by 51% of the people who aren’t me is really all that preferable to being dictated to by one person who isn’t me.
Without something like Instant Runoff Voting or Proportional Representation, or SOMETHING to ensure the sovereignty of the minority, Representative Democracy isn’t all that hot.
