Democratic Evolution

Democratic Evolution

Power in a democracy has been traditionally divided into three parts:

1. The Lawgiving Power
2. The Judging Power
3. The Executive Power

A new structure was introduced in 2003 by Tim Larsen [mailto:ibpalle@tcnl.dk (mailto:ibpalle@tcnl.dk)].

Democratic Evolution

1. The Lawgiving Power
2. The Judging Power
3. The Executive Power
4. The Administrative Power
5. The Controlling Power

The Controlling Power serves as mediator between the 4 powers. The Administrative Power manages within the boundaries set up by The Lawgivers. The Lawgiving Power identifies problems and possible solutions. Once a definition of the problem has been attained, possible administrative solutions are worked out in cooperation with the administration. To pass a Law, no "No" votes can be present.

This division solves a number of vulnerabilities that present interpretations of Democracy has. You can no longer rule by majority only by consensus. If the politicians can not agree, nothing happens. Administration goes on, nothing changes. This eliminates "No" as a political weapon. Spite is not part of a succesfull democracy.
