I guess most amongst us understand *democracy* only through its *representative style* and subsequently try towards the conquest of *representative*.
However, democracy could also be interpreted in its *direct style*, where everybody debates and decides on issues, whereby the minimal representative character is there just to ensure this.
If we assume FSF-I to be one upholding direct democracy in principle, enforcing the values through its minimal representative-ness, then where is the need for carrying ahead with such a debate ? Are there any instances where someone is prevented from participating any debates ?
