Parlement Traditionally, our political lives are organised with the rule of the three unities: unity of time, unity of place and unity of object. It's a principle taking its roots in ancient Greece, and it certainly contributes to the awe we can feel when comes election day. But it is also a limitation... <table align="center"><tr><td> In the physical world we vote on: * one day * one place * one issue </td><td style="padding-right:3em;" vertical-align="center"> => </td><td> In Internet we can vote: * any time * any where * any issue </td></tr></table> It is us, individuals, citizens, who choose what we want to do. These three freedom have consequences, for example if you can vote anytime, you can probably also _change your vote_. There is also no need to have dates and agendas (except when outside conditions require it). If you can vote on any issue, then why not allow _everybody to propose polls_? Their number growing, then _delegating_ your votes become a very useful feature, allowing you to concentrate on the parts that interest you the most, while adding your voice to someone you trust on other matters. If you can vote from anywhere, then you can vote in front of anybody, this means _vote selling_ is a possibility. It is not anti democratic, it's a feature. A feature that, yes, could result into an oligarchy, it all depends on the value of our votes. You can use the basic part of the system right now (no mailing list or chat, no vote, no delegation, no signatures, no electoral list).
