I want to see more democracy at a more fundamental level. I reject the notion that more direct democracy is impracticable or that workplace democracy is infeasible.
If I'm a voter in a community I should be able to just vote directly, and constantly on whatever the local council would be doing. New bypass or shopping center? New issue? Comments being given?
