THE DEMOCRACY PROJECT - 3: A SHADOW GOVERNMENT


SHADOW GOVERNMENT


Many Parliamentary Governments around the world have standing Shadow Cabinets or Governments. A shadow Cabinet normally consists of Opposition Party members who monitor the actions of the Government in power and are ready to serve the country when their Party takes power.


We can and should modify that idea into a Shadow American Government by making the American Shadow Government non-partisan and expanding it to cover all major Federal institutions. I expect that several prominent public officials currently out of office will volunteer to oversee the process of creating a Shadow Government. The new organization must be non-partisan and independent of any Candidate.


The reason is simple: If we do not have an organization or Party ready to assume power at any time, when Trump passes or resigns the United States will most likely devolve into either a Hollow Democracy where Billionaires control government actions regardless of elections, a Balkanization process where competing groups of States choose to create new countries, OR, simple chaos. 


It has a simple goal: It will act to reboot and restore our Constitutional Republic and prevent further deterioration of our system.


It is time now to begin public discussion about the need for such a Shadow Government and to begin actual preparations, very soon. The MAGA GOP is very fragile and can collapse at any time.


I stand ready to contribute to this effort. My academic specialty is comparative economic systems.
