One Vote Away - Saving the West - Free Audiobook
Neil Petrie has written a "seminal work attacking the self-interested elites driving globalisation, controlling representative democracies, and manipulating peoples around the world". Below we offer his book as an audiobook.
In this book (available in print / on Kindle on Amazon) you will see how the people can rule through the use of a hybrid democracy, part-representative and part-direct. Such a system has been tried and proven since 1848, and is immensely successful and popular with those living under the system - the Swiss.
In order to spread this vital message as widely as possible, this work is now available as an audiobook, at no charge. Please share this page with anyone that cares about the future of democracy and wants to understand how the solution is just One Vote Away.
Note that the first and last of the following audio files is read by the author himself.
