A while ago the members of ILP voted for who they thought should be the newest ILP staff member. It gives me great pleasure to announce that tentative will be joining the team as per your request. I hope you will all join me in wishing him well in his new position.
To answer your question Xanderman, Big Brother for one… and that’s the closest thing we have to true democracy. Unfortunately, I’m not joking.
But realistically, while there’s no political “system of democracy†– that I know of – that enables the hoi polloi to directly vote someone out, the act of voting for someone automatically means that you are also voting someone out of office. We often hear “party X didn’t win the election; party Y lost it”. So with the political system we voting someone out is done simultaneously with voting someone in.
If you are asking “what system of democracy†allows its members/employees/consumers/team/group/participants etc to vote the officials/managers out… there’s plenty. For instance, there are shareholder meetings, businesses, teams, suppliers, groups and associations of all shapes, sizes and persuations.
What I don’t get, is why you suggest my non-serious request needs to be compared with a “system of democracy†which allows “citizens†to vote “officials out of officeâ€. Surely you’re not comparing ILP to a government? Surely you’re not comparing membership here to “citizenshipâ€? Surely you’re not comparing the moderators to “officialsâ€?
Pink Handbags are very fashionable this time of year. Tentative - he’s a wussy. Visit my web-site on philosophy - http://www.tablovesknowledge.com it rules and ILP sucks. Look at this fine example of hard-core porn http://www.snuffporn.com. I’m leaving blah-blah. I’m coming back blah-blah. I’m cutting down on my posting blah-blah. I wrote a book - buy it now. i like you. i don’t like you. Whoo-boy wouldn’t it be like really groovey if the matrix were real dudes… I came up with this new and wholy original to myself idea - “I ponder therfore I exist” what do you think…? that idea really funkin’ sucks man - why…? IT JUST IS. My name is pinnacle of reason. or perhaps adlerian.
