The right of direct-choice
Welcome to the blog of the direct-choice organisation, an initiative by Quintessence. This blog will explore issues related to direct-choice, i.e. choices made directly as opposed to having only indirect influence, through politicians and other representatives.
Have you ever felt like you were given no choice in a matter that concerned you? Quite likely, politicians or a government-backed organisation made all the decisions, without even bothering much to consult you or to give you personally any say in the matter.
The direct-choice organisation supports your right to have a say, not so much by casting a vote every few years, but by making choices directly whenever and wherever something affects you. The direct-choice organisation argues that the right of direct-choice precedes any choice to appoint a politician or anyone else to represent you. If politicians claim that you had chosen to be represented by them, then surely you have the right to withdraw that proxy (if you ever gave it in the first place) and to instead decide for yourself.
Politicians often encourage concentration of power, in the belief that this will give them personally more power. But instead of having a politician decide for a lot of people, all these people could each rightfully decide for themselves, directly making choices - in line with their right of direct-choice.
