As a world famous local civilization living in a democracy, we should
believe than our chosen government will represent the majority view of
it's population. Until recently, this has been something we have been
invited to participate in only every fours years, during the local
elections.
A new and far more efficient gesture is to invite the population to
continue their participation in local government decisions throughout
the whole period of governance.
Joining together all the civic groups and local neighbourhood
associations into a island peoples movement, would not only give local
authorities a bigger opportunity to tap into the great wealth of
information from their consituents, it would also bind the population in
a positive and sustainable direction. By working hand in hand with the
local administration, this growing peoples presence can be of real value
in finding ways to improve our own environmental stability. It can also
mean being in a position to transmit this information to all parts of
the world. |
