Talk:Direct democracy

Is direct democracy necessarily about voting? -- Sam

I think it's necessarily about consensus, which involves an amalgamation of individual opinions. "Voting" may be a simplistic way of summarizing how this process occurs (and getting too deep into the article here on voting probably overcomplicates the process with regard to some direct democracies) but I think the wording here is pretty good. Probably what would be best here is a further explanation of the context of voting, specifically as regards a direct democracy, rather than adding caveats to the "voting system" article as I first thought.

Well, more importantly, why has this been moved to democracy? I think it definately should have its own article. -- Sam
