    Nepal just proved the tech for implementing a Direct Democracy works and is possible in the current world.

    Hopefully, soon, we can have political systems where we remove the problem of having to have representatives.

      I’m kinda skeptical of “voting” online.

      I mean, how do you preserve ballot secrecy and vote integrity while being online at the same time?

      In nepal’s case, they had a consensus, and they didn’t really have ballot secrecy, and what if it was 51/49 split?

        There are already countries that have implemented this system officially. It’s probably inevitable.

        Cybersecurity works when it’s actually funded, same as physical election security
