With the internet a revised version of Athenian democracy could be achieved, everyone has a right to vote but would probably only exercise it on issues that concern them.
Should Britain leave the European Union?

This is a fundamental issue with any form of social organisation, someone isn’t going to be happy with the results. Wether it’s an autocratic dictator, benign leader or democracy everyone can’t be pleased. But if people are educated to chose in an informed manner and deploy critical reasoning hopefully better decisions would be arrived at. I’d rather have a vote in more issues than have to chose one person or party to act on my behalf, because I don’t agree with any one person on all issues.
Also Brexit wasn’t a properly informed vote, each person had a different idea of what they voted for and it appears no one got what they wanted.

Two party politics is bullshit. Party politics is pretty much a sham. The notion of voting for one person or party to represent all your different views or beliefs is just weird and is an illusion of democracy. With the internet a revised version of Athenian democracy could be achieved, everyone has a right to vote but would probably only exercise it on issues that concern them.
