🇳🇿Is it time to abandon postal voting? Yes. Yes it is. Have the Electoral Commission run local and national Elections. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/587967/is-it-time-to-abandon-postal-voting-for-local-elections
Ames@lightweight Agreed. But only if the EC are properly resourced, which currently they are not.
Craig Lambie@runoutgroover @lightweight or get rid of elections altogether!
#AgainstElections by David Van Reybrouck argues that it is rife with aristocratic overtures anyway. A standing #citizensassembly would be a much better way to represent the whole community.

@craiglambie42 @lightweight Oh most definitely. We should be building parallel structures of genuine collective participation outside a parliamentary system that will never truly represent the people as a whole. In the meantime however...
@runoutgroover @lightweight that would be cool.... But for the funding
@craiglambie42 @lightweight And the *time*. Capitalism keeps us busy eh.
@runoutgroover @lightweight I guess time/ money same... Our precious resources... Trying to make a living under capitalism is just hard work... By design. #graceblakely talks about this a lot.
