......continued from my last post below I was doing a lot of thinking about edemocracy systems a few years back and, to overcome problems with the amount of time/attention that anyone can give to governance, came up with the idea of having your representative being the individuals who had voted the most similar to you in the past (identified through an encrypted computer facilitated open source voting system ?). I now see that this could also avoid the problem of charismatic/well presented people with bad ideas becoming the representatives of others (a problem identified in all the links I posted in my previous mail). I also envisages notifications about how your votes were being cast (also encrypted) with some time period to choose different before they were fixed,
I wonder if such a system would see scary results?? (mob mentality) The system whereby people get informed would also need attention. I'm thinking of large media controller/owner led agendas.
