Many observers fear the ruling Georgian Dream party will resort to anything to stay in power. It has buried the liberal values it espoused when it took office 12 years ago and effectively torpedoedGeorgia’s bid to join the European Union. Its founder, the secretive oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, has threatened to imprison his political rivals after the election and ban the main opposition party.
Under the country’s new proportional voting system, Khabeishvili of the UNM says Georgia’s fragmented opposition will have no trouble forming a coalition after the election. But he fears that Ivanishvili will seek to cling to power after an election loss.

UBI has nothing to do with who runs things. Someone has to distribute those funds. Someone also has to be responsible for things like infrastructure and ensuring things like food is being inspected.
So how do the people doing those things get chosen fairly if not by citizens voting for them?

That’s not an answer. I didn’t ask about how it is currently.
Again, how do those people get chosen fairly if not by citizens voting for them?
