TOP Q#35: Why bother with a global referendum when there are countries with repressive governments that will not allow their citizens to participate?
Its true that many repressive governments will refuse to conduct a formal national referendum as their part of the global referendum on the creation of a democratic world government, but Internet-based voting can proceed among citizens of such countries unless the government bans Internet use (which in most instances is unlikely or even impossible). However, the fact that some undemocratic governments will oppose us makes it all the more important for residents of more open societies to vote Yes for the creation of a democratic world government. The greater the weight of public support for a DWG that is expressed in initiating countries, the more difficult it will be for repressive governments to block similar aspirations among their own people.
