There may be a direct democracy in our time?
As direct democracy at the time of ancient Athens? Of course it can. Suffice it to society to take advantage of modern technology.
It may occur through a vote on the Internet and through referendums each month on issues of local society. In my personal opinion that direct democracy is the purest form of democracy.
Indirect democracy - with 300 members - lags behind direct democracy.
In direct democracy the will of the people seems clear. Indirect democracy is assumed that citizens have the same determination with the elected Government.
