Premise
Where this draft begins.
Political decisions should be made as close as possible to those affected. Higher levels coordinate common tasks without turning themselves into permanent centres.
Political direction
What should concretely change.
- 01
Build local assemblies with real budget and initiative rights.
- 02
Control delegates through binding mandates, rotation and recall.
- 03
Organise federal levels strictly by task rather than hierarchy.
- 04
Make public decision data and understandable accountability mandatory.
Safeguards
What must not be lost.
Fundamental rights are not subject to local votes.
Time, accessibility and compensation make participation real.
Expertise advises; it does not replace democratic decision-making.
Open research
Not yet answered.
How large can assembly units become?
How should justice and independent oversight be organised federally?
