No, they'd stay the same. Currently if you're an uninformed voter, you pick the wrong party.
The good thing though about continuous voting is the voters could actually vote for what they want, rather than picking from a choice of 5 people, none of which agree with more than 20% of their opinions. They've sort of started a similar thing here, we can sway the opinions of the local politician when they ask us what to prioritize etc.
Wrong. We pick from a small number of choices of politicians, who might have vaguely similar ideas to ourselves, then hope they aren't liars and don't change their minds.
If you believe the population aren't to be trusted, why do we vote at all?
"I'd imagine that they'd like our government out of their countries."
Which is no reason to let them into the US. The US is in their countries BECAUSE they keep invading.
And I don't see Americans going over there and trying to change their laws.
The reason is, why take the risk? Let none of them in, nothing gets blown up. Become atheist, then we'll let you in. It's high time all religion was thrown out the window where it belongs.
"the ethics and the feasibility of using it to cure disease" - WTF is unethical about curing disease? No no no, that's really bad, we must never cure people, people must be left to suffer....
EnvironMENTALists get upset about everything. Fossil fuels create global warming (yeah right, whatever, who cares), nuclear will kill us all (yeah right) and wind farms make too much noise (ROTFPMSL!). It's high time we started ignoring them and got on with life. The only important thing is generating energy.
He's not missing your point, your point is simply wrong. You can't grasp the difference between committing a crime, and not preventing a crime. The police stop crimes. Members of the public and private companies shouldn't have to. If Mr Smith pirates something, then the police can track down Mr Smith. But the ISP, the phone company, the postal service, the electricity company, the supermarket where he buys his food, are all nothing whatsoever to do with his crime, yet any of them could have stopped him.
In the UK, if you can't pay them back, you just don't. You set up a token payment of £5 a month which will pay it off in 200 years, and they charge no interest. You'd think that would screw up your rating, but it doesn't. Other card companies still give you fresh cards.

Sticks and stones....
With the added benefit of getting a lower band of insurance :-)

The electorate are the only ones who should be making decisions, not politicians. The way the country is run affects us, not them.
He didn't write the phrase "John Stuart Mill".
The population voting has to be better than a few power hungry politicians voting.

Good grief, someone sensible on Slashdot. It's quite odd since most of you are atheists, that you tolerate religious morons.

Tax is evil. All tax should be stopped.
His name kinda tells you he might be dangerous.
The film Idiocracy is coming true.
Jail anyone with a dodgy surname.
Star Wars (and Star Trek) has always sucked, Stargate is WAY better.
Microsoft are giving you an entire OS for free, and people still find something to moan about. Just install it for goodness sake.
Then update your software.
I bet you some people end up with very embarrassing word combinations.

Nice technical report from the police there, they had "long" guns. Were they also really big and scary?
There already exists a 2.5mm connector. There have always been 2.5, 3.5, and 6.5mm audio jacks.

Unlimited water works just fine in my house.
