Hello Victoria! With 20 days left before the election, Victoria Votes has started interviewing community leaders as well as candidates to discover some of the issues that may deserve your attention over the next few weeks. More on that soon.
For now, here's our email interview with Pedro Mora, along with the usual Monday Mag and B Channel News stuff.
Victoria Votes asked: This term is shorter than usual, what can we accomplish over the next year?
Pedro Mora said: One year as councilor would give me a lot of influence and connections with the municipal resources to develop a secure, transparent, and accessible computerized "Initiative, Referendum, and recall system".
One year of officially promoting perpetual direct democracy, and developing the structural mechanism of the system, would attract a lot of interest from the citizens of Victoria to shift from representative democracy to direct democracy.
One year of citizens testing their new found political power would be only the beginning of a democratic revolution. Citizens will be dumbfounded to realize how we had functioned, for so long, without direct democracy.

VV: What is one thing everyone should know about you?
People who are looking for a leader, should know that I am not a leader, I am just an average citizen, I am as smart as everybody else, I am as informed as most people.
I am running for office because I want to work towards the development of democracy, not because of my ego.
Only responsible citizens who want to start an innovative,extraordinary system and exercise self governance, starting on November 20, will vote for Pedro Mora.

VV: Talk about an issue.
Victorians have a unique choice on Nov. 20. If the majority want to continue with the traditional Representative Democracy, they have ten leaders to chose from; but if Victorians are ready for a revolutionary change from representative democracy to direct democracy, they will vote for their right to govern themselves by initiative, referendum and recall. They will elect Pedro Mora.
