June 27 saw the launch of a manifesto for a global democracy. What's your take on it, where would you criticise it, what would you add, what would you take out. If it is to be a global democracy, your voice must be in there somewhere. If you are pissed off with the way things are run at the moment and think we the people should have the controlling saw on what happens to us, then you have to raise your voice, join in the debate, let your voice be heard or it will never happen.
We hivty hiv a say in this.
MANIFESTO FOR A GLOBAL DEMOCRACY
Politics lags behind the facts. We live in an era of deep
technological and economic change that has not been matched by a similar
development of public institutions responsible for its regulation. The
economy has been globalized but political institutions and democracy
have not kept pace. In spite of their many peculiarities, differences
and limitations, the protests that are growing all over the world show
an increasing discontent with the decision-making system, the existing
forms of political representation and their lack of capacity for
defending common goods. They express a demand for more and better
democracy.
