I wonder if a political party or movement could be constructed as a for profit e-gov tech corporation. There are so many API's that still need to be written. We can do specs and have governments implement them but it would be much much easier if a single company created the API's for all countries. Currently the qualification for e-gov is if a citizen obtained information from a government website. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/products-eurostat-news/-/EDN-20200307-1 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/products-eurostat-news/... Not everything needs to be born out of need, we can do ambition too! Moldova did some fun stuff out of need. Corona created a lot of need. We don't really want to be reading laws (specs) we much prefer good goal oriented documentation or a tutorial. It would be even more practical if we could feed the applicable laws into the application and have automatic constraints, updates and a warning in advance if new constraints are coming. All legal jurisdictions implemented the same way. The instance can be configured for- and hosted by each customer government and the for profit corp can simply aggregate the API's and validate(!) If the government service returns different results loud alarms should go off. A list could be made of possible modules (or saas products) governments could offer, they could pick the ones that seem useful to them and buy a quote that reflects the complexity of the laws involved in that jurisdiction. If the budget is there a for profit could easily venture far outside politics and organize supply chains, payments, investments, training etc etc Besides funds and products it some how needs to get the citizens involved in a legally binding way. The automation would inevitably end up choosing directions that may or may not fit our personal ideology. (There is a blurred line between what should quite obviously be automated and what should not.) Politics would be a highly limiting factor which seems to suggest there should be a market in delivering the limits to the politician and the voter. The politician is also trying to construct something. While offering a similar api for the construction of laws seems a tad over ambitious it would be very helpful to provide them (and the voter) with existing implementations in other countries. There is also an infinite amount of work to be done in gathering real time data and making useful visualizations. Anyway, some practical ideas are needed and some hands on action rather than everyone observing the situation while pretending they cant do anything. Its our nation state and it will die only when we want it to.
