I’ve come up with a really good solution for a replacement to our current governmental scheme.
I call it a Unanimocracy.
There are three rules in Audiomind’s Unanimocracy:
1. No law can exist without an unanimous vote of the populace — direct democracy in ultimate form.
2. All laws sunset after 6 years.
3. No future laws can change any of the 3 basic rules.
The Unanimocracy will likely produce 7 different levels of government: Federal, Regional, State, County, Village, Community, Household.
If 300,000,000 voters can’t pass a law unanimously at the Federal level (let’s say minimum wage), then they can try at the Regional level (3-4 states maybe). If those 40,000,000 can’t pass a minimum wage law, they can try it at the State level. If those 10,000,000 can’t pass the law unanimously, they can try it at the County level, and so on and so on.
Some laws may only exist at the Household level. Some might be only at the County level — and counties will compete for similar-believing citizens.
Most laws will never pass at the Federal level. You might have “No murder” laws at the Federal level, but you sure won’t have “No using drugs” or “No prostituting” laws at even the State level. If a law DOES pass, in 6 years it fails and must be re-passed by the new voting bloc.
This is will hereby forever be known as Audiomind’s Unanimocracy.
