Election system

First, the "title a day" project is claimed to be death. few reasons, 1) very ambitious, 2) too ambitious, 3) just too ambitious.

ok, back the the content. it seem that our election system is just like 2000 years ago, the ancient Roma system -- few people or estates elect a person to represent them, and those elected people elect a person to represent them, and the process goes on, end at the "forum".

that system is because the communication system is not so good, and people are so many. if letting every one in the society discuss and vote for every thing, that will be so inefficient. however, now a day, every one can access internet, so, why not vote in internet? so many issues we can vote in the web. and the result can be fast respond to the government, or let the related department know what the people want. the simple discussion board is simply not enough and not attractive. since it gives no power to the people.

but there are many things need to be over come. mostly, security and identity problem. but i thing they are already solved. the security in the internet is very good so far, that's why so many people buy things online.

so, if everyone can use there credit card info as the identity certification, we can ensure no one vote more that 1 time.

if every vote cost some value, i mean, people do not vote will deduct money from bank (since voting is one responsibility for citizen, charge is needed for not taking the responsibility. ) than, many people will take part for the social event. well, the best thing is people who vote will get paid for, or award, instead of punishment, will be must better.
