Technocracy and the TDs

From the very start of this series of post on technocracy I made sure I did not talk much about the TDs and their powers. This is because this issue needs to be addressed in a post on its own, where I will talk about the powers of the TDs and their role in technocracy, which is indirectly increased under this system.
First off lets look at the start of each TD's political life- the elections. Under the technocracy system proposed, the PR system would still be retained. The PR system has many advantages, mainly that it allows for local parties to enter the Dáil as well as that no votes are 'worthless' as each attributes to a candidate. Another advantage is that the system allows for a TD to be tied to his constituents and work for the area. Many times, however, the TD does not exactly always work for his constitutions. Here we find a problem, that the system of technocracy, indirectly, tries to resolve.
Under the model of technocracy the TDs are not an a part of the government. In fact there are no ruling parties, because the Dáil majority only applies to the appointment of the cabinet and its program. Besides that the TDs are pretty much free to vote and do as they will. This opens doors for the TDs to open topics and issues in the Dáil that interest their constituents. There can be no longer any excuse for not being proactive in the Dáil such as the usual 'It wasn't a government agenda' or 'we dedicated all out time correcting the government'.
This proactive role of the TDs could only be achieved if their powers remain the same, and that's exactly what technocracy guarantees. The TDs can vote on any issue put forward by fellow TDs or government and are seen as a balancing body to the cabinet of experts. Furthermore their legislative powers are also being kept, allows them to draft up legislation and defend it in front of the Dáil. These powers being kept ensure that the TDs take an active role in the Dáil as the usual excuses can no longer work under technocracy.
Having explained the roles of the Taoiseach, the cabinet and TDs there is only one more function that we must look at and that is the role of the President. I will be addressing this issue in tomorrow's post and after that I will try to answer some criticism on technocracy to prove there is no need to fret. Please look forward to the conclusion of these series on technocracy.
