Of course there is democracy! Oversight is not indicative of democracy, transparency *is*. Make it possible to look up _your_own_ voting history and ability to hide wrong-doing gets tougher. That alone wont do it of course. The fact that few people "can" verify results is short sighted and misses the point. The systems being used - and the way we are going about putting them in place IS THE REAL PROBLEM. Open the democracy. Nationalize the VOTING SYSTEM. Make it STANDARD. Similar, but better, than automobile driving.(imagine if you had to get in on the left in some cars but the right on others...) Now... if you want me to go into why *this* has not happened, I can.. but its a long story of corporate fiefdoms and multi-level government power struggles.
