Fewer people vote than own Internet-enabled devices.[1] Centralized anonymous participation in policy deliberation, creation, and education seems a logical step. Consider the following application: http://davidjarvis.ca/world-politics/ http://davidjarvis.ca/world-politics/ Reducing the influence of Special Interest Groups is accomplished through moderation whereby moderators are randomly selected, from the entire population of users, and are empowered for a random interval of time. The path to adoption begins at municipalities wherein contributions are initially restricted to civil servants, whilst benefits and drawbacks to upcoming policies are publicized. Once many cities are using the system to deliberate and solicit public feedback, usage at the Provincial (or State) level could follow. Similar systems exist[2], however they are too complex for recording open and transparent discourse to achieve majority consensus on a particular policy. Thoughts? [1] I am reminded of this quote from V for Vendetta, "You now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror."
