Vote for a Democratically-Elected President of the World
If it is to be a global democracy, which, if it were otherwise neither I nor you should want any part in it, then it must be democratic in nature. Vote yes to call for all officials of the site to be democratically elected, not to have inherited their positions through the starters of the site.
For example, perhaps let people be nominated by site participants, and then let those people choose whether or not to run for President or for another position, should one be created. With x number of nominations (let's deliberate on specifics here), and a choice made to run, let people vote on a person as they would an idea: Yes to see them in, no to see them out; it does not have to be conventional. Or just yes. At any rate, the person with the greatest positive number after everything's calculated would win!
People could post links to information on themselves in the meantime, and have their own doings be off site for the most part; funding, ability, competence, character, intentions and promises once elected, all could be displayed by links to information on them in their real lives. For any who think this extreme, do you believe this site can start a global democracy or are you here to waste time?
Vote yes now to call on the current President of the World to start planning with us for democratic elections to be held for GlobalDemocracy. A vote for yes is simply saying this; specifics I leave open to debate below, and to further consideration, none of which above are binding by your vote.
But to any who would not have it, and I will respond, please, indulge me: why should a global democracy in name not be democratic de facto?

Since, to me, it appears that the person on the video is merely a "representation" of what the most popular ideas are on the site I don't really see why we would need to vote on who presents the ideas brought forth. From what I get out of the idea, the POW isn't any form of an official or holds any opinion for this site... he just appears on videos regarding the ideas the people bring forth as the most urgent.
I suppose it could be brought forth, then, to have a different spokesperson for every video?

I should have explained all that in the original post. But get back with me.

As for the voting someone in? Pointless. Now voting on the ideas brought forth by the POW, perfect! Thats what the voting system is all about, though it's not just the votes, its the number of votes. So, the site observes a high number of voters than usual (amount worthy of a video) voting yes on a particular issue, its puts this idea forth. The most liked and most popular ideas get represented by POW. Exactly the way it should be

I do feel a sense of promise again; I will leave this up for the time being because I don't want it off the site records, unless it comes to hurt my ratings too much for my comfort, which it plausibly could (my other ideas all have 100% approval ratings). This post needn't be any longer than it's gotten to be, but I would ask everyone to comment as to jlaz's idea of an objective, automatic system for putting ideas in the POW's lap, as this would largely solve my problems, and any it did not solve would be right in front of the community, but really that should have no further issues at that point. Jlaz, what do you say? Everyone else? I may post a new idea soon to replace this one, jlaz, but feel free to yourself as I would not wish to take credit for your idea if you had an inclination to post it, and I am sure you could elaborate on it at least as well as I, even after I've thought it over a little. But how does everyone feel about the proposed amendment to the above?

Feel free to contact me about anything we talk about on this site, or anything you wanted to but never quite did. I am here to network, and to help forward a global democracy that puts people ahead of government, giving the People back their rights and control; all this I wanted to do before I found this site and just lucked out that someone else had already had the same idea who had the means to make it happen

McDonalds is for hamburgers, not for governance. Freedom is not only what you think it is, it's what Russians think it is, and Chinese, and Chileans, and so on and so on. They arent' all the same idea, but it's all freedom. And it is beautiful and deserves to be left in peace to find it's own way in the world.
Give me Freedom. Or give me death! I'll keep my own president, thank you very much. I'm quite happy with her.
