Comment on Push to lower Australia's compulsory voting age to 16 as advocate says youngsters feeling 'disenfranchised'
Representative democracy is a form of democracy. Direct democracy is another form. There’s no “true” form.
In theory yes, in practice no. There is clearly a class difference between politicians and those whom they “represent”.
I mean it’s possible to have more representative representatives. It’s not an inherent thing in representative democracy that the representatives are wealthier.
