Dissertação de mestrado em Philosophy and Ethics; Political Science and CitizenshipThe French representative democracy should be reformed to make it better
adapted to the principles of a modern democracy with a high level of inclusion
and participation. The CIR contributes to an effective participation in decisionmaking,
because it is a very efficient instrument for citizens to express their will
forcefully. It is a tool that can strengthen democracy, and not to worsen it. And
for this reason, it is one of the best measures that we could adopt in France.
Although the CIR can have negative effects such as decreasing the participation
in the elections, by associating it with the basic income, we avoid this, but in
addition we decrease the economic inequalities that are also creators of political
inequality
