Evolution of Political Parties
ОглавлениеIn the absence of a parliamentary body, but with the possibility for citizens to vote by delegating their votes, political parties will be forced to transform into centers for studying public opinion, with expert groups dedicated to developing legislative initiatives – which, in fact, is what they should be in the modern world. It is important to understand that most people are apolitical and, in a calm environment, would prefer not to interfere with the process, placing their trust in the parties. Thus, the influence of political parties on public life will remain.
However, the nature of competition between them will change. Parties will have user ratings. Now, anyone who notices a drop in a party’s rating will be able to visit its voting archive page, see how the party voted, view the rating decline graph, and with a single click, transfer their vote to another party.
