AXIODEMY is the value of people. 

 

SSC (Supreme Supervisory Council)

 

The Supreme Supervisory Council is a state body in the Axiodemy system the purpose of which is to filter of elected members of legislation authorities on the basis of professional and personal qualities, theoretical knowledge, practicality and rationality of thinking. 

 

The SSC has no feedback from public authorities - legislative, executive and judicial branches, and is engaged in organizing the testing and control of the activities of public authorities. 

 

Election to the Supreme Supervisory Council of Axiodemic states is executed in two basic stages. The first stage is a country-wide open election; allocation of votes is carried out according to the majority system in ten main categories. The second stage is a closed election system through presentation of every candidate in each separate category. Thus, there is a filtration based on the principles of "social recognition" and "professional competence". 

 

Recognised authorities in various spheres of  life are selected throughout the whole country. They must have achievements in the following:

 

1. Health protection.

2. Industry and agriculture. 

3. Education and culture

4. Economics and finance. 

5. Political management. 

6. International relations. 

7. Law enforcement. 

8. Justice and judiciary. 

9. Space technologies and ecology. 

10. Country defense. 

 

 

It is important that the number of representatives of each category can be from 15 to 40 persons depending on the country’s population. Out of these 40 participants of the symposium only 10 persons will participate in the Project as members of the Supreme Supervisory Council (and the elected chairman). There will be a total of 110 members from 10 categories.

 

 

 

Selected members of the commission of the Supreme Supervisory Council meet 3 times during the year of their elections for ten days to discuss state problems, and twenty days prior to the elections, a three-day symposium of each category is convened, which is the start of the pre-election process. Leading representatives of the ten categories of public institutions prepare questions for candidates balloting for different levels of power. The programme fully excludes the possibility of any information leakage. Recommended references and explanatory notes for testing are freely available. 

 

Participants of symposiums cannot belong to any party; members who stick to radical national and religious beliefs are also excluded, because the Supreme Supervisory Council which controls the elected president, is accredited with the people’s great trust and protects its interests. 

 

Members of the Supreme Supervisory Council have immunity status and vocation to care for the welfare of the whole humankind. They answer to the people, who have boundless trust in their best representatives, and to the president who trusts their authoritative judgements and listens to their advice. The Supreme Supervisory Council is partially updated every 6 years (the duration of the president’s rule) – out of 11 persons 6 are re-elected (including the chairman) by an internal vote. That is, it is another power institution which exposes all drawbacks and advantages of the rule of this president and his government, and namely it watches and assesses the president’s activities throughout the whole term. 

 

The Supreme Supervisory Council does not leave any ways to achieve personal gain and makes impossible the misuse of state assets and country’s natural resources both for personal advantage and in the interests of narrow political circles.

Testing of the President.

 

Citizens elect the president and other public officials in the hope of a better future. However, when electing these people, we have insufficient information about future leaders. To elect a worthy ruler,  it is necessary to find out the way of thinking of the future president, features of his psychology, capabilities and talents he is ready to apply in order to develop the state entrusted to him.

 

          And that is the aim of the complex system of testing of the president proposed by us (concerning resolution of issues of social, political, economic and other directions). This system enables not to test the professional knowledge of the candidate, but to see a model of human behaviour in a situation in search of solutions of important state issues under real conditions, and also to see how adequately and humanely the reasoning of the head of the state has been. 

 

The system of testing the president and further control his work enables  election to the position of the head of the state a person whose mental capabilities will give him an opportunity to positively adjust the situation in the country and in the world. That is to say that the criterion for the election of candidates to an executive position is not dependant on national or religious identity of a citizen, but his management, mental and creative capabilities identified and confirmed during free elections and academic testing. The general election of the president must be only the first step on his way to state governance. The second necessary step is obligatory testing developed by the Supreme Advisory Council of the state and related to different spheres of life. 

 

 

 

 

In Parliaments of the Axiodemic states, based on our calculations, it is reasonable to organise participation of three parties. We note that this number of political parties corresponds to the modern level of thinking of both individual citizens and the whole society. Each of three parties nominates one candidate for the position of president.  Another candidate is nominated by the country’s parliament. Four candidates participate in the process of election for head of state. In due course, we assume the presence  of  only one political party in the Axiodemy system, thus the future number of candidates for the position of president will be three. 

 

Nowadays, political activity to a lesser degree depends on economic and psychological factors thanks to the achievements of the Axiodemy system – the introduction of testing mechanisms and providing people with minimum economic resources. It will affect political behaviour in the form of decreasing interpersonal competition and leveling out personal psychological complexes which are manifested in political participation. 

 

 

 

Testing  presidential candidates represents 300 practice-oriented questions from 10 categories. The candidates are asked to answer 77 questions (72 – practice-oriented ones to check rationality of their thinking, 3 – philosophical ones, 2 – of personal character). 

Broadcasting of the whole preparation procedure and testing itself takes place in real time; questions and answers are not circulated to the mass-media.

 

 

 

After electing the president, work on the Project does not come to an end. The Supreme Supervisory Council (consisting of 11 persons from each direction) continues its work: assesses the activity of the president and submits a report about its results at the end of the third year of his rule. On the 11th day of work, the Supreme Supervisory Council is convened to deliver the final judgement on the president’s activity.

 

110 persons have a general discussion, then split into ten groups in corresponding to their categories and have local discussions, as a result of which everyone gives a grade for the president’s activity during his three year term based on 10-score scale with use of decimals. The ratio for total calculation of received points for testing and electoral votes is 700 points = 50 percent. 

 

Members of the Council are independent experts. They observe the president’s activitiest, without interfering in his work and promulgating the results of their supervision until the end of the third year of the president’s rule. At the end of the third year, the chairman of the Supreme Supervisory Council, summing up the results, publicly reports to the people on the basis of the collective expert assessment of three years work of the head of state.

 

 

 

In the case of neutral balance in the country (up to 550-600 points) or in presence of a trend to positive changes in state life activities, the president continues his work; thus arises a necessity for serious analysis and discussion of the results of presidential rule during the first half of his term.

 

A closed-type symposium is convened for this purpose. 110 members of the Superior supervisory board and the head of state take part in the symposium. In the course of discussion the president declares his achievements and involuntary errors; participants of the symposium, from each category, develop and offer ways to eliminate negative consequences of incorrect state decisions, and discuss methods for positive changes.

 

If the president’s activities meet the expectations of voters, correspond to duties and powers of the head of state, is aimed at preservation of social, political, economic and peaceful balance in the country and abroad and is assessed by more 550-600 points, the president continues his rule for the next three years. 

 

In the case of successful work (the average rating of two three-year terms is more than 700 points) at his position, positive changes of life activities of the state entrusted to him, realisation of reasonable and wise internal and external policy, the president can occupy his position for two terms, that is he has a right to stand for the second term during new elections without testing. If the elections are successful for him, he continues his rule (but for not longer than for12 years).

 

 

 

In exceptional cases, if during his three-year rule the president commits serious offences or crimes against country’s law, the people or humankind, the Supreme Supervisory Council has a right to declare and, if necessary, to levy financial losses from the president and his accomplices, to displace him from his position, submitting his case to the prosecutor's office. Thereafter, a candidate who has taken second place during the testing is automatically invited to the position of president.

The SSC – Supreme Supervisory Council

 

SSC members are invited to test candidates at all electoral levels. Testing of deputies at federal, regional level, including governors, is in two sections: 

1.    Theoretical - general basic theoretical knowledge

2.    Practical - ability to analyze, synthesise, assess, practicality and rationality of thinking. 

The testing of municipal deputies consists only of a theoretical section. 

 

The first section consists of open questions, assumes a free form of answer and is checked by members of the supervisory commission. The second section consists of closed questions with unequivocal answers and is checked by the automated calculation system. The grade for testing of theoretical questions (only two options) is 0 or 10 points, for questions to check rationality of thinking - from 0 to 10 points with use of decimals. 

 

Intermediate assessment of rational thinking and practical questions is a point system defined by one of three levels: maximum - 7-10, average 0 7-3, minimum - 3-1. There is an additional criterion assumed for the assessment of answers which are of positive, neutral, negative character - concerning the degree of their possible implementation in the present or future in a maximum humane way. Questions in this block are ambiguously directed, provocative or a priori assuming a personal answer. Their form changes through answers both  to local and complex questions, which  enables the assessment personal qualities: universal values, width of thinking  process of candidates, level of rationality and intelligence of proposed ways and solutions of problems which individuals and the whole  humankind are faced with. In each section, one question is of confidential nature. Questions are programmed by time so that after a break there will not be another opportunity to answer. Questions are of various levels of complexity - local, regional and global. The percentage ratio of questions in tests varies depending on the level of political representation. 

Let us note that the number of questions in each category differs depending on the test level. 

 

 

Members of the SSC who check qualification tasks have no data about candidates who passed the test, as there is a biometric system of registration, recognition and double coding through comparison of face, fingerprint and a certain symbol which is herewith not displayed. The symbol is the only tool which helps make automatic comparison of the test results and the person through candidate’s second personal presence and use of his biometric data.

 

In case there are complaints and clarifications regarding theoretical questions of the testing, it is possible to address them to the chairman of the SSC to get an explanation of a specific correct answer. Applications about practical and rational thinking answers are submitted for repeated review by the board, its judgement is incontestable. 

 

The number of SSC points and the number of received electoral votes are not equivalent. Results of people’s vote are relative to the total percentage of electoral votes, that is one percent is equal to a different number of votes in various regions, considering the unevenness of the population density. 

 

List of categories which candidates must be knowledgeable in to pass the test: 

1. Health protection.

2. Industry and agriculture. 

3. Education and culture

4. Economics and finance. 

5. Political management. 

6. International relations. 

7. Law enforcement. 

8. Justice and judiciary. 

9. Space technologies and ecology. 

10. Country defense. 

 

 

Summing-up results and access procedure for testing of candidates for legislative bodies of federal and regional level:

 

Candidates who have passed the electoral barrier of the first round of general vote for federal or regional parliament are joined by those candidates who have not passed but are in the top 25% of the number of passed candidates, and all of them are admitted to the second round. 

 

 

Testing lasts two days: the first one is for theoretical questions; the second is for practical and rational thinking questions. Time allocated to think about answers is 7 minutes for theoretical questions, and 10 minutes – for practica and rational thinking questions. 

 

Thus theoretical questions represent a test form of half-closed type, i.e. for each question it is necessary to choose the correct answer out of three given options or to give one’s own additional answer to a test question both in print and verbally through a microphone, up to 2 questions in each category may have no correct answer option, in this case the correct answer is given in the line below.

 

The minimum determined threshold to pass the test is 170 points.  Candidates who have not gained enough points, drop out the electoral process. 

 

The average co-efficient is calculated by ratio of number of received testing points in the second round, converted to a percentage added to the result of public elections of the first round. At the end of this procedure, a candidate who has received the highest percent is declared a winner.

Election of deputies for legislative federal bodies.

 

Popular vote. 

The number of votes received by each candidate is recorded by the supervisory commission and is distributed according to the order of the party list of candidates and additionally includes 25 % who passed the first round, and the following stage of election campaign - testing starts for them. The purpose of such an extension of the candidates list is a necessary compromise between public and scientific recognition, in leveling and mixing of the two extremes. 

 

 

Testing. 

Candidates answer 73 questions out of 280: 44 theoretical ones, 26 practical and rational thinking ones, 2 philosophical ones, and 1 personal question. 

 

For total calculation of received testing points and electoral votes, the ratio is 700 points = 50 percent.

Election of deputies of regional parliament.

 

Procedure for free popular vote to express one’s will takes place.

The number of votes received by each candidate is recorded by the supervisory commission and is distributed in descending order of candidates who have already passed a certain election threshold (approximately 5-7%), and additionally includes one quarter of candidates who passed the first round, i.e. those who have not passed the electoral barrier, and the following stage of election campaign - testing starts for them. The purpose of such an extension of the candidates list is a necessary compromise between public and scientific recognition, in leveling and mixing of the two extremes. 

 

 

Testing. 

Candidates are offered to answer 73 questions out of 275 from 10 categories: 50 theoretical ones, 20 – practical and rational thinking ones, 2 philosophical ones, and 1 personal question.

The number of votes received by each candidate is recorded by the supervisory commission and distributed in descending order, only the  first three candidates are determined for whom the following stage election struggle - testing begins. 

 

 

Configuration of the test 

One day prior to the test, the questions are transferred in electronic form to the Central Electoral Commission. Questions are automatically mixed up by means of computer software, they are further distributed into 2 sections - theoretical and rational thinking and practical ones, by 10 categories in columns identified by serial symbols,  questions are displayed on individual screens. That is to say that candidates answer 70 questions out of 235: 39 theoretical ones, 31 practical and rational thinking ones, 2 philosophical ones, and 1 personal question. 

 

 

 

 

 

For total calculation of received testing points and electoral votes, the ratio is 700 points = 50 percent. 

 

 

 

Fundamentals

 

SSC (Supreme Supervisiory Council) of axiodemic states also establishes the number of representative bodies of the first assembly of municipal formations, terms of their powers and appoints the date of elections. 

 

Process for the election of municipal deputies.

A system of two rounds:

 

 

Testing at the municipal level in various directions at the initial stage of political career of deputies is important for gradual increase of general competence of candidates and protection of values and interests of the people. The number of participants is not limited, but there are restrictions in terms of presence or absence of residence permit, previous conviction (except for conditional one), medically confirmed mental deviations. These rules apply to all levels of the electoral process. 

 

 

Stage 1. Formation of the test 

On the day of the test, the questions are transferred electronically to the Central Electoral Commission. Questions are automatically mixed up by computer software and distributed into the 2 sections - theoretical and rational thinking and practical ones. Ten categories in columns are identified by serial symbols. Questions are displayed on individual screens. There are 3 to 15 theoretical questions in each category, but the total of questions for each candidate is 73 - that is 70 theoretical questions, 2 philosophical questions and 1 additional personal question. The whole test consists of 355 questions to check the theoretical knowledge of each candidate. Questions represent a test form of half-closed type, i.e. for each question it is necessary to choose the correct answer out of three given options or to give one’s own additional answer to a test question both in print and verbally through a microphone. Up to 2 questions in each category may have no correct answer option, in this case the correct answer is given in the line below.

 

Categories:

 

1. Health protection - 3 questions

2. Industry and agriculture - 7 questions

3. Education and culture - 8 questions

4. Economics and finance - 7 questions

5. Political management - 15 questions

6. International relations - 11 questions

7. Law enforcement - 4 questions

8. Justice and judiciary - 7 questions

9. Space technologies and ecology - 4 questions

10. Country defense - 4 questions

 

Stage 2. The first round. Testing. 

All candidates answer questions simultaneously, inside one common equipped room where there are separate booths of  tinted glass where they cannot use communication devices and information materials. There is an individual screen in front of each candidate. 

 

Candidates are given 70 minutes to answer 10 test questions, on the average 7 minutes per question,  then comes a 10-minute break. The testing procedure lasts two days. On the first day there are 40 theoretical questions, from 10 a.m. to 3.10 p.m. that is 310 minutes. The second day 33 questions,  from 10 a.m. to 2.10 p.m., i.e. 250 minutes. The total duration of the testing procedure is 560 minutes. 

 

 

 

 

If not enough candidates have scored 170 points, a certain number (up to 9) of additional questions from various categories need to be answered until the necessary number of candidates is automatically selected. 

 

Points from the first and additional tests are totaled and calculated on the 10-point scale. If the number of deputies is not sufficient even at this time, the threshold of points is  decreased, so that  the candidates who are in the first quarter of the established number of mandates of each district, are elected to the list in the  descending order. 

 

 All questions from 10 categories for each test day are different in order to prevent information leakage. To avoid any infringements of the general rules and requirements, there is online coverage of the whole testing procedure which  is transmitted to all municipal districts.

 

 

If a candidate has a registration in a certain place (city, village), he has the right to choose the district where he will stand as a candidate.

 

 

Stage 3. The second round. Popular vote. 

Candidates who have passed the established threshold of points are allowed into the second round. Then each candidate standing for municipal deputy is given time for public expression of his electoral programme in his constituency. 

Then a procedure for free elections takes place. The number of votes received by each candidate is recorded by the supervisory commission. 

 

 

 

 

Stage 4. Summing-up and calculation of the results of electoral process. 

The results are checked by the automatic counting system. Within three days, all points received by each candidate are totaled and converted to a percentage  based on the ratio  - 700 points = 50 percent. Each candidate receives his percentage which is totaled with the percentage of popular vote of the whole population of his constituency.  Candidates with the highest percentages become deputies.
