Isn't it just weird that we can't vote for that issue without getting every other issue the person also wants, like why must issues be lumped in to person-bundles. It's just broken.

Personally I'm stuck with voting for "the party not dismantling the NHS who stand a chance of getting in".

Maybe in my kids lifetime we'll get proper PR at the national level (UK).

It's what I find appealing about the concept of "fluid democracy" - the ability to vote on particular issue in isolation. Taking it to the extreme is probably a bad idea, but so is our current way.

As is commonly quoted, putting every issue to public vote would lead to bringing back the death penalty.

...also brexit ;-)

Brexit has really damaged my faith in democracy.
