Indirect democracy refers to a system of government in which the people control the government through elected political officials. Indirect democracy is also known as representative democracy; a politician is elected from each constituency who represents the people who voted for him in the parliament. It relies on free and fair elections wherein those who are currently ruling have a just and fair chance of losing. Hence, the elected politician can be removed from the office and made accountable for the work performed by them for the community.

It is the form of government in which the citizens of the country votes for votes for the representatives who are empowered to decide on their behalf. The United States uses a mostly indirect democratic system, with nearly all levels of government being filled through public voting. Other countries that use indirect democracies include Great Britain, France, Australia, Canada, and a bunch more. If you think about it, even student governments in high school are a kind of indirect democracy. You do, after, all vote for candidates to represent you and your classmates.

To conclude, due to this drawback, representative or indirect democracy came into being that overcomes the disadvantages of the direct democracy.

  🧳 I Packed for 5 Days Like I Was Moving to Another Country Let me start by admitting something: I am  that  traveler — the one who packs for every possible scenario, weather change, mood swing, and fashion emergency. When I planned a five-day trip to the mountains last month, I told myself,  “This time, I’ll travel light. Just essentials. ”  I genuinely believed it. Spoiler alert: I ended up packing like I was preparing to move abroad. It began with the basics: a pair of jeans, a few t-shirts, one jacket. Simple, right? But then, the spiral began. “What if it rains?” I added an umbrella, raincoat, and waterproof shoes. “What if we go out to a nice restaurant?” In went a dress and heels. “What if the weather suddenly drops to freezing?” Boom — thermal layers, gloves, and a woolen scarf. And that was just clothes. Let’s not talk about toiletries. Full-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, two moisturizers (for dry and extremely dry skin), sunscreen,...

 🗺️ How I Tried to Plan Every Second of My Trip (and Then Gave Up on Day 2) I’m the kind of traveler who makes spreadsheets before a vacation. I like order. I like knowing exactly what time I’ll leave the hotel, when I’ll arrive at a museum, and how many minutes I’ll spend eating lunch. So naturally, before my recent 5-day trip, I made a minute-by-minute itinerary. Literally. From 8:00 AM breakfast to 8:45 AM walk to the metro station — everything was planned. I even added buffer time and weather forecasts. For the first 24 hours, things went perfectly. I arrived early at the airport. I checked into my hotel like a travel blogger who knows the drill. I followed my “Day 1” plan exactly — visited the historical sites, ate at the recommended local cafe, and ended the evening journaling about how I was crushing this travel thing. It started with a delayed breakfast. The cafe I’d marked as “Must Visit” didn’t open on Tuesdays (which my spreadsheet did not warn me about). I stood ou...
