CAN PEOPLE HELP LEGISLATORS MAKE BETTER LAWS? Yes, citizens can make a difference. In a parliamentary democracy, people place their trust in representatives to formulate laws and oversee the Executive branch. A major reason for this system is the difficulty of practicing direct democracy in a contemporary mass society. The individual has too weak a voice to have an impact. However, current information and communication technology (ICT) can act like steroids, enabling us to pump up individual voices, and foster a greater and more direct interaction between society and parliaments.
