Direct democracy

Establishes ways by which each individual member of a polity may participate directly in policy-making for the polity. Ideally, members should also be able to participate directly in all other features of governance and not just policy-making. No formal government anywhere is a direct democracy. All are at best representative democracies limiting citizen involvement to voting and influencing representatives via money and pressure, though a few permit citizens to engage in a few processes similar to those of a direct democracy.
