| Summary: |
The paper presents a diversity of affirmations in order to define different democracy conceptions and
which, according to interpretation, endorse affirmably or negatively the implementation of direct or participative
democracy mechanisms. Some of the theoretical arguments that sublie in the use of these of these mechanisms
are accentuated, leading its detractors to affirm that -and those in favour to contradict-: a) representatives have
more knowledge about the consequences of political decisions; b) ordinary citizen cannot undertake informed
decisions (even rational) about extremely complex problems; c) the participant of direct democracy mechanism
acts separately, without discussion, which denies the possibility of making concessions or change of position in the
debate, and therefore, the deliberation of representatives always leads to better results based on exchange and
revision of arguments. |
