I just had a brainwave about how to address low voter turnout in local body elections in Aotearoa. Could the solution be liquid democracy?

One reason people don't vote in local elections is that we don't really know who the candidates are. But most of us know at least one person who shares our […]

Liquid Democracy als "Versöhnungstechnologie" | Politische Teilhabe im Netz | bpb.de Liquid Democracy – der Versuch hin zu einer alternativen demokratischen Machtausübung bei der die Grenzen zwischen Regierenden und Regierten zusehends verschwimmen – ist auch ohne den Erfolg der Piratenpartei ein interessantes Konzept.

Liquid democracy - Wikipedia

I'd be a fan of #LiquidDemocracy. (No so called AI needed.) Unfortunately, I have to admit that humanity is not ready for it. And probably never will be.

But then you get to deal with the corruption that goes along with a representative democracy like this.

#TrueDemocracy #DirectDemocracy #LiquidDemocracy

Church and state are weaponized together to enforce neoliberal, neo-colonial control. "Power" exploits faith to subvert democracy. We need decentralized, transparent civic infrastructure to dismantle this.

Sehr wichtiger Punkt, danke!

Der Aufbau einer Kombination aus repräsentativer und direkter Demokratie bietet mE die vielversprechendsten Chancen für die Zukunft, was ohne eine politische Krise oder gar Kollaps nicht oder nur sehr schwer umsetzbar wäre.

Our governance model includes delegation - community members can entrust their votes to trusted representatives for specific domains. #LiquidDemocracy
