Direct democracy, an Uncommon card
Direct democracy or pure democracy is a form of democracy in which the electorate directly decides on policy initiatives, without elected representatives as proxies, as opposed to the representative democracy model which occurs in the majority of established democracies.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The theory and practice of direct democracy and participation as its common characteristic constituted the core of the work of many theorists, philosophers, politicians, and social critics, such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Stuart Mill, and G.D.H. Cole.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Direct democracy article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 71: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
