PVR,
I appreciate and enjoy much of your vision of conscience-led governance. I don't however agree with your program of improving representation.

Rather, I find myself largely in agreement with Bruce Eggum that WDDM is mostly 'about' Initiative and Referendum. I'd only add that we also are 'about' experimenting with deliberation.

One might say that current representative government is the most democractic form of government possible with 18th century technology. We in WDDM are looking to bring about the best democracy possible with 3rd millenium technology.
