Hey Briana! My name's Anthony. I believe we've never met. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the possibilities for making our "democracy" more "representative"!

this is you

Article Choices

1. Criticisms of electoral politics
I'd like to reorganize the criticisms so that there is a section for ideologies and for prominent thinkers (mostly based off of what we have read in class). There also seems to be a conflation of representative democracy and democracy as a general term, which I would like to address. The information already there also needs revising and citations. I will maintain the focus on the Western hemisphere.

2. Criticism of democracy
This article needs additional citations and edits to the phrasing of the content already there. I will focus on the sociological, political and philosophical criticisms in the article--adding to some, editing others and completely deleting and replacing certain sections. I will also add a lot to the introduction.

3. Voter fatigue
Most of my changes to this article will deal with sectioning it off and connecting it to other relevant pages. There are also a lot of citations that need to be made!

Assignment Article

Criticisms of electoral politics
I've posted my outline of changes to the Talk page and look forward to posting a detailed bibliography soon. I can't figure out how to assign myself this article on the course page so I wrote my choice here!
