Hi my name is Mike I have several recomendations that are consistent with the deepest "respect for the complexity of human life".
1. Enhancing democracy through a republican municiple mechanism. If 15% of the municipalities, pass a resolution for an iniative or referendum, a special election is triggered. This fosters greater exchange between the people, and Althingi, by agency of their local governments. 10 municipalities can pass a resolution quicker then 30,000 signatures can be gathered and verified. This alongside your current direct democratic iniative/referendum system should be quite sufficient.
2. Strengthening representation is conistent with the highest repect for complexity, in that it gives greater access to the governemnt to the people, and hence more diverse dicourse and input. 1 representitive per every 2,000 persons, giving the people 160 representitives, and likewise and equal reduction in the represetitives pay as is conducive to secure, such an enhanced democratic structure. This produces political action, that even further fulfills the diversity of self interests wich make up the people.
3.This coupled with a defusion in matters of political/cultural expression, and prohibitions demontrates a commitment to tolerance(ethical foundation in the current sphere), and a legislative composition wich reflects the deepest respect for complexity, and the free indiviuals wich comprise it.
4. Inter-Icelandic deregulation of college/university educators. Basicaly this would allow for the development on the inter-icelandic knowledge economy, by allowing educators accredited to teach in higher education, the freedom to organise, administer, accredited classes, tax free, independently. This will create a organic priceing mechanism that will help lower the cost of education, by allowing for decentralised competion in the form empowered individuals engageing in their trade.
Im running for Mayor in Grand Rapids Michigan, good luck to you, your an inspiration, and efforts are a testament to human determinism. Hope it was useful, good day.
