The Pressure Principle


"To some degree it matters who's in office, but it matters more how much
pressure they're under from the public."
Noam Chomsky

Interactive Democracy exerts a constant pressure on politicians that may be more powerful than the elections at the end of each term, when misdeeds may be long forgot. There should be a balance of power between government, parliament and the public that is felt every day, on each decision, not occasionally on an amalgamated and distorted history.

Noam Chomsky

"States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions." Noam Chomsky.

Interactive Democracy gives people the power to impose those moral standards.
