Representative Democracy: indirect legislation
E-Democracy: direct legislation

USA adopted representative democracy in 1789, because all its citizens could not sit together, at one place, at one time, to exchange ideas, vote and make a decision.
Other countries adopted the system because it was better than the other worse systems.

Times have changed. The way Ahead:
Pillers of Democracy:
1. The President
2. The Prime minister
3. The Lok Sabha
4. The Rajya Sabha
5. The Judiciary
6. The Executive
7. The Media

We do away with The Rajya sabha.
The Lok sabha does functions of The Rajya sabha.
"THE CLOUD" takes over functions of The Lok Sabha.
Rest of the Pillars of Democracy, keep on doing their Job, as they do now, but with transparency, using information technology.

Ask Nandan Nilekani to, help us Indians, develop the system. As a result:

1. All Citizens are Legislators.
2. The Executive, with the help of experts, design a policy. It is discussed, modified and the final draft voted upon, in THE CLOUD.
3. After it is passed by THE CLOUD, it goes to The Lok Sabha.
4. After it is passed by The Lok Sabha, it goes to The President.
5. It becomes a bill only after it is signed by The Supreme Authority, The President of India.

Representative Democracy fails in The Third world. Look at failures in Africa, in Latin America and in The Indian Sub-continent. Look at the fragility of imposed democracy in Iraq and in Afganistan. All types of governance have a shelf life. If democracy doesn't evolve itself, Autocrats will rule the world, once again, in Circa 2500 A.D.

Therefore, open ur minds to E-Democracy. This will be SWARAJ as envisaged by our forefathers.
