The Transition from Western Democracy

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Margaret Mead

In Chapter 2, I described many of the limitations inherent in the western democratic model of governance, and why this model, if left to its own evolution, would never likely transform itself beyond these limitations.

In Chapter 3, I described a new model of governance—a model without political parties and without the limitations that political parties bring to the public decision-making process.

In Chapter 4 and 5, I described two new tools we will have to learn to make this new system of governance work: consultation and the advisory board.

For the readers that liked what was said in these chapters, the next question is: “How do we move from the western democratic model to a TDG?”

This chapter is a possible path of transforming a western democracy into a TDG.
