I prefer a large, 3yr term legislative Demarchy for electorates >50,000. They have same responsibilities as US congress & elect an executive cabinet at terms end. Government is run by a technocratic bureaucracy they guide.
負數票協會 Negative Vote Association
一人還是只有一票,但選民可以選擇只投負數票(反對票)反對某人當選。贊成票扣除負數票(反對票)淨值最高者當選。投票率會提高,選舉結果比較清楚反映民意。立場偏激者較難當選,偏激言論也會因此減少,社會因此會更和諧,世界會更和諧。“可以投反對票” 應該是基本人權。

I am a member of Sortition USA. This is a volunteer organization building a structure for real democracy to supplement and potentially replace our hopelessly corrupt, engineered-to-be-oligarchic electoral system in the U.S.

The issue with demarchy at the level of the courts is that you substitute expertise for a crapshoot. I want judges to be subject matter experts on cases they rule on!
We don't let people become patent attorneys without a science or engineering degree: why isn't that the bar for every field of law?

RETVRN to Demarchy
Abolish elections and choose legislators at random.

A Demarchy/Technocracy hybrid?

Very late SecSam for @cesious.blue. The prompt I ended up using was for early Sokrates/Integrity interaction, so I made a two page comic lightly exploring the idea of the self-doubt that comes with that sort of power and trying to help again. #secretsamol #friendsatthetable #fatt #secretsamol2025

This is called demarchy and it is in fact a much better form of government

*galaxy brain meme with quote "Democracy cannot coexist with elections"*.

I think, like elections, demarchy is a legitimately good idea too, for the record.

--allow another queen to rule them, because they feel it would create comparison to her. In that same respect, they abolished monarchic rule in favor of a type of theocratic demarchy because no elf was willing to call himself King and rule over his wives and daughters.

The stories about her are--

It's not quite the same system you're describing and I don't think it's technologically feasible yet, but I believe demarchy might be the perfect form of government

In Redemption Ark, absolutely nothing hits harder than the loss of Hospice Idlewild — it's easy to be callous about the Demarchy and the Conjoiners — the melding plague had already done its work and left Yellowstone broken, but hospice Idlewild was a true humanitarian space 💔

Sataminva is a demarchy - citizens are chosen at random to serve in the Hall Of Voices for a session, a little like jury service but for running a country. This is something that marks out the setting- it's rare to see genuinely egalitarian government in a fantasy novel.
How do the politics of your book's world work? Is it a monarchy? A democracy? Theocracy? How does it affect your characters? #WritingPrompt

Demarchy, Sortition, or Lottocracy

I do not favor this system of governance (which goes by all three names), but reading about it is interesting. Here is the file:

Photo-Club de Paris. Founded by Robert Demarchy in 1894 and bringing together a group of influential photographers who were more interested in the image and not the technical and scientific side that obsessed established institutions. (Illustrator unknown.)

The glitter band is absolutely essential to getting into Revelation Space — you introduce the factions , form an emotional connection with Yellowstone , introduce the Eighty , the Sylveste family (who you can paint as absolute villains at first) , introduce Demarchy and the Americano incident. l.

#Foundation #Dune #ChiefOfWar ….. These stories are great cinema.

But why the hell are we never seeing democracy or demarchy at work?

The element of participation would make great stories.
Foundation (2021): Why were Cleon clones created for the series to represent the Galactic Empire?

Showrunner David S. Goyer: "We arrived at the idea out of expediency. We were trying to figure out a way to have at least some of the characters recur from season to season — even while we were..."

“…the citizens of the Demarchy were dunned by a constant flow of news disguised by promotion, promotions disguised as news. The need for an ever slicker, more compelling distortion of the truth had created a new ecological niche in Demarchy society,

Electoral politics in a liberal democracy leads to fascism. A new order that enables more direct democracy is immediately necessary. #sortition #citizensassemblies #demarchy
