The key to a true democracy is not about votes, not about proportional
representation - it is about voters having the skills necessary to vote in
their own best interests. In Greece we have fair elections. We place our
voting envelope into a transparent box. We have proportional representation. .
. .but we do not have the skills to vote in our own best interest.
Not having the skills to vote in one's best interest is the major problem in
the United States. Elections are not fair, certain populations of voters are
suppressed, voting machines can be hacked by remote control, elections are
bought and paid for with hard green cash, and there is no proportional
representation of government in the United States. But I argue that the
major problem is the citizen's inadequate skills to vote for what is best for
her/him is the major problem in the United States.
