design of our democracy
I've finally managed to turn this series into a pdf suitable for download (1.1mb).
I've adapted it a bit, rewrote some sections that worked in the medium of a blog but didn't quite translate to paper.
It's a bit of a slog but I hope you find the time to read through it. I hope it prompts some thinking.
I also think its an opportune time to discuss why we seem to be stuck in a cycle of corrupt leaders.
p.s. A friend complained about the colors bleeding her inkjet dry, so here's a black and white version (400kb).

Thanks, Urbano.
I've been indisposed for the past month and am only slowly catching up.
I appreciate the rewrite and have just downloaded a copy of it.

Sir:
I have downloaded a copy of your proposed points, critiqued it, and put my own revisions to it. Please, if you have time, read it:
A Comprehensive EDSA Proposal
this is a timely one, urbano. i'm thinking how this could get integrated with oliver m's one-term-only proposal.
on other stuff, sidney just published a series on those jumbled cables and wires in metro manila and sorsogon he can't help but notice and photograph. hope you could take a look and share some more knowledgeable comments ;)
Hi Fred,
Thanks for downloading. I hope you're feeling better and that it wasn't anything serious.

Serious thinking here...
I am not aware (but I am quite ignorant) if this model of choosing ones political leaders exist in other countries. This looks like a total new concept to me.
And thank you for your input in my blog. Always nice to read your opinions.
Hi Sidney,
sorry for my delayed reply. (I am a recidivist!)
It is, partly new -although you can find shades of it in the way the Swiss elect their parliamentarians to the Council of State.
