I wonder what UN votes would look like if they were secret ballot. Each country chooses their representative, but from that point on it's up to each representative and their own conscience.

wouldn't that just invite massive bribes for vote changing?

That’s an insane amount of power without any accountability to your constituents. Would strongly reject

That’s a terrible idea man. Delegates need to be accountable and immediately recallable if they are faithless. Check out Democratic Confederalism and Abdullah Ocalan.

I looked into this — UN has 3 vote types: - Recorded (individual votes noted) - Summary (totals without individual votes) - Secret Ballot (for elections, votes kept confidential) Seems like: Decision impacting public = public vote Decision impacting assembly = private 🤷

It's a hilarious and awesome idea but you would create a scary and powerful cabal of super villains

Our organization is regularly speaking at the UN and it’s amazing the huge amount of behind the scenes work that’s involved in just lobbying governments to listen when something big is happening - So much persistence & noise! With the secret ballot point - We only wish! It’s very difficult to stomach right now.

Why would the US ever allow the UN to have some kind of actual power ?

fascinating reflection! ...could imagine a general bias towards being corrupted. i.e. fewer cases of a conscientious person voting against his evil country wishes vs a corrupted person voting against his decent country wishes.

The UN is such a joke anyways it would *almost* be fun just to watch the nonsense that would ensue.

Its a good question. I’m doubtful at least for America. Our government is keen on empowering people without a conscience

Politics is all about persuading others and forming alliances to win votes, and it’s very hard to change human nature by changing the tech.

even more interesting if the representative kept their ballot secret from their constituents.

Then it would just be who wants to accept the most cash from China. Probably not too different to today. 🤷

I suspect you’d also have to have the final tally be secret if you wanted to make it a conscience-only result
