alt Hacker NewsRepresentative government in which sufficient time is granted for all with an opinion to speak, a broad community vote on specific decisive issues.
You know, the opposite of a very few deciding without paying attention to the many that stood outside locked doors in the cold.
I like the idea of everyone speaking, but 4 hours of speakers with 3 minutes each should have been more than enough to hear all the important viewpoints.
If they didn't listen, it wasn't for lack of physically hearing the arguments and seeing significant support.
