If you want a stronger democracy then it's up to you to vote for it by supporting the candidates who have demonstrated the strongest commmitment to democracy.

The candidates in your electorate have all been asked the following questions to determine the strength of their support for a Properly Functioning Democracy.

Q1. If you are the elected representative and the majority in your electorate can show you how they want you to vote on a Bill before Parliament, and that is not the way you or your party want to vote, will you vote as the voters want?

Q2. If you answered Yes to Q1 then will you sign a Commonwealth Statutory declaration legally committing yourself to vote as directed by the majority of voters?

Each candidate's results for Q1, and Q2 if they answered Yes for Q1, will be added together to give them an overall Democracy Score.

The candidates for each electorate will be listed on a How To Vote card sorted by their Democracy Score in descending order from 100% to 0%.

After the election

Once a candidate is elected, even if it isn't the one who supported democracy the strongest, then the voters in each electorate need to work together to decide how they want their elected member to vote on Bills before parliament.

Vote4Democracy proposes a Direct/Representative Democracy Model which is described here.

Note that whilst we think that this is the best model available it is not, and cannot be, prescriptive as it should be up to each electorate to democratically determine how they come to a majority position on Bills.
