Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book confronts the problem of democracy being hindered by secretive and powerful special interests. The author decries how, in practice, the machinery of elections fails to function as a means for the people to express their will and elect representatives who make and enforce laws that the people want. Instead, the author claims there is a missing balance wheel in our governmental machinery. This book proposes the Advisory Initiative as a solution to restore representative government. The Advisory Initiative would supply the missing balance wheel in our governmental machinery by giving the people the power to force the consideration of such issues as are demanded by the public interests. By taking the questions out of party politics and out of the hands of the politicians, this book argues that the Advisory Initiative would allow the people to compel consideration of questions the bosses and corporations are now able to have ignored, evaded, or sidetracked.
