Democracy First

The channel "Democracy First" aims to promote democracy where it does not exist and to defend it where it exists.

Democracy is not just elections: it is the power to the people. Or more exactly, since the people do not have the time to make all decisions themselves, it is the ultimate power to the people. This ultimate power is the power for the people to decide which power they delegate to representatives and how far they retain the power to intervene directly to decide on matters.

Democracy comes first, because it is futile to argue over issues if someone else ultimately decides. The priority is therefore that the people acquire (in countries that are not democratic) or retain (in democratic countries) the ultimate power. Only then is it relevant to address other topics. Let's unite first for democracy, before we fight over where our society should go.
