13. REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS

The procedure for the formation of regional or regional and national institutions would be the same for the provincial ones. Neither would the direct election of citizens be resorted to at these two levels, because obviously, being independent candidates, they would not have the necessary means to promote their candidacies at the regional or national level, nor would it be convenient. In today's multi-party democracy, citizens are influenced by massive electoral acts, attended by fiery acolytes, related to the parties that organize them and do not need to be convinced. In addition to being expensive, they are absolutely useless. In any case, these electoral meetings do not reflect the candidates' true personalities or the real scope of their government programs. These unfortunate media spectacles of mass electoral rallies would cease to exist, since it would no longer be a matter of choosing a "charismatic leader", who may be positive, but also catastrophic, as Hitler or Mussolini were, and which only serve for the theatrical exhibition of the candidates with their costly and spectacular staging, but a good manager and administrator of the legitimate interests of the citizens. The time of charismatic leaders has to give way to that of responsible public managers.

Thus, the autonomous presidents would emerge from an internal and direct election within the autonomous Assembly and would be responsible for the Commission, equivalent to the current autonomous presidents and being part of the regional Council or Senate.

Also, at this same regional political level, there would be the institution of the Ombudsman, with the same powers and competences as in lower institutions, but better equipped according to their new scope of action.

In this simple way, we reached the national institutions, which would be formed with the same procedure as those of lower levels, but with the only difference that they would obviously have a greater number of representatives in the Assembly, as well as more commissions and powers for the national Commission. , such as Interior, Defense, Exteriors, etc.

This would constitute the National Assembly (Parliament), the National Commission (the Government), and the National Council, made up of the presidents of the regional or autonomous Councils (the Council of State or Senate).

The equivalent of the current Prime Minister would obviously be the President of the National Commission, chosen from among the National Assembly members. Once again, the direct election of citizens would not be necessary for the formation of these institutions.

Finally, this new democratic system would converge with the current management bodies of the European Union. It is easy to deduce that the only significant change would be the candidates' election for the European Parliament. As we have argued, in the absence of political parties, they would be directly elected from among the deputies of the national Assemblies. In this way, the current political fraud of directly choosing representatives whose knowledge by citizens is practically nil would be avoided.

The rest of the current European institutions should hardly be touched. So, thanks to the reforms to the current democratic system under this proposal, all national political representation systems would come together in a single procedure at the European level, whose political function is not to govern but to manage.
