Democracy: Who should vote for leaders, who should vote on mandates?

With universal internet access you would get up in a true democracy and there would be a list of issues you could vote on - much as you pick your shopping in Tesco. Politicos as they now exist would be redundant.

Doesn't it seem nonsensical for the election of a leader to be delegated to the party membership when they vote for someone who was always unlikely to get anything through Parliament?

The latest fiasco shows the current system is nuts. Amongst other things.

I’m with you on that one, but I guess that circumstances change, Covid, war in the Ukraine, that affects everything for the whole of Europe not just us, so tweaks have to be made. On the other hand at the end of their term how many promises are fulfilled? Whether they are Tory or Labour.

But I think whoever the PM is should go back to their other MPs and get agreement to the changes before foisting disastrous decisions on us all.

And tell me why, with such a large pool of MPs are they allowed to select old friends (who have no idea about the subject they are handed to deal with) to serve on their Cabinet.

The mandate/manifesto is not a legally binding agreement.

Not sure if it would be possible to make it so, as no Governments have access to a functioning crystal ball they cannot foretell what outside influences will come to play and prevent/hinder them from carrying out their manifesto promises

As has been the case with the Covid pandemic and Russia invading Ukraine.
