On the principle of majority, the * tyranny of the majority * and the principle of consensus:
Dear John and friends:
Thank you for expressing your worry about the principle of consensus instead
of majority.
Defending the principle of consensus I must fight now against history,
against the hated professional politicians, against traditional political
parties and so on.
I'm sorry have to fight harder to get my view understood.
I'll start with the battle against history.
I'm not proposing the principle of consensus to be used by the existing and
hated politicians.
They have not the will to reach consensus and therefore they are not able to
reach consensus.
Only the new professional politicians will have the necessary will,
experience, background, time and independence of the political parties to do
their difficult intellectual work for a better world.
In the project of Consensus Democracy the new generation of politicians will
have to declare their will of achieving consensus when presenting their
personal and voluntary vocation to become professional politicians.
On the next step they will start at the Independent Political Academy and
learn the consensus finding process during 4 years.
Then they will practice their experiences from the Academy as candidates
between the population and the parliaments at the different levels during
another 4 years each.
I'm sorry for repeating so often the same aspects and how the different
components will work together.
Nearly nobody is considering the complete context of the project of
Consensus Democracy.
A politician of the new generation is not comparable with the current
politicians.
In the Consensus Democracy politicians or groups of them will not have any
power.
Only together they can decide and so they will practice what they have
learned at the new Academy and what they used to do during their periods as
candidates of the different levels.
Please try to look at the whole context and not only at the isolated aspects
in their traditional and unsatisfactory meanings.
Best regards.
Frederic.
