It's quite possible.  The same way that representatives bring up all these great plans right at the end of the term, come home for the summer while Congress is out of session, campaign and then return to "finish the job."  Then, right after the elections, a lot of the bills that the same reps were proposing and talking about die in committees, because they never really cared about them other than to talk about.

A model citizen should be flexible and robust and have an expiry date a good eighty years past date of production...\n\nA model citizen should be hardworking, but should also have time for friends, family and leisure activites, as all these things contribute to making the economy strong and also help the model citizen to maintain good health and place less of a burden on the health care system...\n\nA model citizen should be politically aware, and in a society that allows free and democratic elections, s/he should use the right to vote, otherwise the system will become pointless...\n\nA model citizen understands that any effective government requires funds in order to maintain services for the citizens it is elected to serve and protect, and so s/he has READ the constitution and (if a citizen of the USA), finds that THIS constitution's Article 1, section 8, empowers the congress to impose taxes, levies and excise, so because the constitution is the DEFINITIVE law of the land the model citizen will pay those taxes and levies and excise AS THE LAW REQUIRES whether s/he likes it or not, and obey all other laws that the constitution enshrines as well...\n\nhttp://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8\n\nA model citizen understands that political promises bear little relation to reality and will not take them into account when voting, but will consider only verifiable facts and the past performance of the competing parties and their nominated candidates and will not vote blindly without thinking it through...\n\nA model citizen will say what s/he thinks, but always allow others the right to express their opinion as well, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, and will only corect them on the basis of verifiable fact, not pure opinion.

No, a parliamentary democracy is by far the most representative form of democracy that has been created thus far. Don't blow it.

Be aware, these wierd people think they rule the World and indeed, they have around them a large entourage of the old elite who still wield enormous power in business and politics. They are anti-democratic, dangerously introspective privileged old has-beens and its long gone time they were removed from the UK political scene.\n\nDon't encourage them!\n\nHowever, if you must, try the link below:

Yes.  But the key to the future is "proportional representation."  Look for it online.  Instead of majority rule taking all, voters are guaranteed representation proportional to the membership of their party, similar to representation by state or district. \n\nVoter turnout increases when people's votes count toward representation no matter how big or small.  \n\nI believe in adding representation based on party affiliation.  So there could be a Senate with two reps per group, and a House based on reps per population or membership.  Since some people may be affiliated with more than one, any group or individual could propose legislation, but decisions would be based on consensus between all parties affected.  So you can legislate for your own party or district; but if legislation affects the greater public, it must be adopted by consent of those affected.\n\nThis would encourage direct participation and representation in government, and help to organize the population by party and by issue.  Policies based on common solutions would invite practical ideas and cooperative support, instead of campaigns that exploit emotions or media stereotypes to manipulate the vote, divide the public, and fuel conflict and debate over problems.\n\nThe government is not a failure but the population has outgrown the current system.  As a society we have developed the technology and communication to localize government and to organize by interest so that groups no longer need to compete for power.  Solutions will come from cooperation between groups. So that is where government is heading, based on expanding on the current model we have for checks and balances between the various branches and levels.

I've never seen it, but I have heard of it many times.\n\nHere are a couple of sites with more information if you want it.  The first one apparently has pictures of it.
