MERIT E-DEMOCRACY By J AMunemannPrefaceFor many years I have thought that there needed to be a new form government . Thatthere must be, a better balance of liberty for the individual, against the need'sof the many . I believe that Merit E Democracy is the best form of governance forour current and future society.J A MunemannIntroductionCrib of Merit E Democracy.A representative free democracy , where people vote on laws and bills directlyafter taking a comprehension questionnaire on the proposed bill or law .The billor law can be proposed by the public or by the burocracy.There is still a burocracy and voted in Ministers and Chief Minister , but theyare merit appointed burocrats rather then politicians.You don't have to vote or take any questionnaire if you don't want to.So yourinteraction in your own governance is purely up to YOU.In the UK Parliament in 2007-8 there were 30 Bills passed. If you take that as anaverage, if you wanted to vote on every bill/law ect you would have to spend abouttwo hours a month on information pack's and about forty minutes on the actualquestionnaire . I would imagine that most people would not want to vote oneverything, so the average time spent on self government would be even less, maybeone hour every two months ? So are you prepared to spend a day and a half, a yearyou so you can govern yourself ?As Merit E-Democracy [MeD]absorb's all past laws that don't conflict with itsconstitution it would be a peaceful transition from a representative democracy toMeD.One of the main arguments for local councils , is that people need to feel as ifthere voices are heard. In MeD as you govern yourself there is no need for localcouncils on that basis .So council business can be centralized and unified for thebest efficiencies and major savings ,currently councillors can earn over a£250,000.It was recently reported[*1] that In 2007/8 the cost of the current formgovernment system[*2] in Britain was almost 1/2 a billion pounds.All saving's form doing away with the representatives and council's , would fundthe money to offset the questionnaire voting system . If managed properly therewould actually major savings which either could benefit the population with lowertax's or be put to use for the betterment of society in schools and hospitals.*1] In The Evening Standard on the 13 July, 09*2] cost of politicians ie. politicians and their hangers on ,local councillorsand the lords and MEP's.

Declaration of IntentAs with most new government systems this one is built on ideas that have gonebefore with a few very important adjustments.In the case of Merit E-Democracy its foundations are built on the ideals Icherish , direct government , e-democracy and meritocracy, but I understand thefallibility of human nature and as many governments have proven, ideals do notstand up to our weakness.I believe that we are or should be responsible for our government and that ourgovernment should not take responsibility away form us , as thinking responsibleadults we should not be infantailized by our government.Merit E-Democracy is a meritocratic accountable burocracy, which runs a form ofreferendum based responsible direct e-democracy.Merit E-Democracy's main tenant is responsibly for ourselves ,that our governmentshould help us , NOT look after us and that we are our own government,AND AS WECAN INTERACT DIRECTLY IN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT WE DO NOT NEED REPRESENTATION.We need to think what we want from a government , once we have done that we cansee how then the government structure can fit that function.As society's evolve and grow by population and technologies , they must adapttheir forms of government so they are the most functional for that society'sneeds.We must accept responsibility for our own governance, otherwise we will be ruledby interests other then our own . The Surveillance state is very near, if notalready here and we will be loosing civil and maybe even human rights in comingyears .By accepting responsibility ,we gain back power from the centralized government[ and any other interests].As our personal freedoms are lost in the years ahead with encroachingtechnology's, we MUST have a balance. I believe that the best option is with aresponsible direct voting system , as we do not need representation, in thecurrent technological age.What we want from a government is the best representation of individual viewpoints ,within a functioning governmental structure .With the least taxation, bureaucracy and the least intervention of personalfreedoms whilst maintaining an ordered but mobile meritocratic society.Merit E Democracy is not a revolutionary form of government , it should absorb anyof the current burocracy's institutions,and law's , and adapt them to therequirements of the new constitution.Modern democracy's are no longer representative of the will of the people ,such asevidenced by the second Iraq war.The corruption and other distortions of thevoting process, show that the current model of government, is not fit for itspurpose, in a mature and educated society.We now have the technology for a functional direct democracy, Merit E Democracyclaims the position as the best responsible and libertarian direct democracy .Form and Function of Merit E-Democracy

1 person 1 voteNo Proxy VotingA public ratified meritocratic burocracy runs the country, with the leastburocracy possible for a functional government.With citizenry voting on laws ,only after completing and passing , a comprehensivecomprehension questionnaire's on the subject of the proposed law.1 government email address per citizen.Questionnaires and notices come in different priorities , they are published onthe Government Internet Site and all other popular media.RED , which are Government suggested laws to be voted on in three months .BLUE which are local impact laws and notices .GREEN which are citizen suggested laws to be voted up to government level , [ie 15million vote's to push it up to government level].All suggested Laws also have a yellow attachment , which has most of theinformation that is not need in the questionnaire but is relevant to the proposedlaw. This is information that can be constantly updated.Merit E democracy is a government that has flexibility in its laws and structure,it has a built in mechanism for change, so it can adapt readily to currentmorality's and advancing technology's.Form of Government _The BurocracyAny Under Minister , Minister , First Minister , Chief Minister or their deputies,can be dismissed from their position by recommendation* of their peers and over50 % of the public vote,or a 75% majority vote of no confidence by the generalpublic .One term is three years.A new Ministry or Under Ministry may be created or an established one removed ,ifthere is a need by a recommendation* of the existing Chief Minister , Minister'sor Under Minister's and must be ratified by 75% of the public vote.In case of death , resignation or if they are otherwise unable to fulfil theirduties ,the standard protocol for the employment of the burocrats must be carriedout , except in the case of the Chief Minister where there is a special protocolto follow[ re section on the Chief Minister and First Minister]All burocrats should receive equal or more , remuneration then there counter partsin the private sector . Therefor encouraging the best people to be available forpublic office.* The recommendation must be explanatory and published in the majority of media.The Chief Minister
