Let’s face it, protesting is hard work, and time consuming.

Not to mention it’s way old school. Surely there is a better way?

TA DA! Troy Alexanders 23 years of policy is proud to present: The online policy submission thingy! A place where every citizen young can old can submit their very own policy ideas!

But Troy, the idea of every man and his dog being able to jump online and submit a policy straight to government gives me the shivers!

Not to worry readers, there is a proven way of democratically evaluating each idea before it gets to our MP’s. I am referring to web sites like Reddit, where users are able to up vote and down vote articles submitted by their peers. It really couldn’t be any simpler.

What if Bob Katter and his supporters all go on this fantastic site. Soon we will all be forced to wear ridiculous hats!?

I’m really glad you asked that question random person holding a script. I propose that the highest voted ideas (say a top 5 of each quarter) are presented to parliament in the same way as any private members bill. It would be costed by treasury and debated in front of the citizens who suggested it. That way, even if policies like ‘Free Swimming Pools For Every Home’ manage to get up voted one to many times, parliament can swiftly vote against the idea and go back to pointing out how useless Wayne Swan is.

Will informative and hilarious blogs like yours still exist in such a democratic society.

Have no fear reader, something tells me no matter how good our government becomes, I will find something to blog about. Like bug catching. BZZZZ said the bee! (…this thing writes itself!)

Worst case scenario, a week or two of parliament (which we pay for) is wasted on our silly ideas. Best case scenario, government is forced to debate the policies the nation wants them to, and a whole bunch of hippies stop blocking our streets every time something is built.
