Direct Democracy
Should pirates in the US go along with European parties and back Direct Democracy? If so, in what form?

I have some ideas.
Direct Electronic Democracy via P2P Overlay
proposal by Alex M (Coyo) Closed Wed 24 Apr 2013 7:21AM
premature, lack of staff or funding.
We should design, specify, implement, and standardize a peer-2-peer overlay network protocol to collectively discuss and decide policy directly, with many of the nodes hosted by municipal, county and state government networks and systems, but with the majority of nodes hosted by volunteers either at home or within independent data-centers.
We should use a fluid and accountable decentralized network protocol to govern everyday policy-making.

I think direct electronic democracy with no representatives and a censorship-resistant yet publically-supported overlay network is the ideal approach.

Agree with Kusanagi. We can't invest resources into developing stuff like this, at least not yet. We could potentially endorse current systems at least for use on municipal and county levels (Liquid Feedback, loomio et al.)

Alex, I think YOU should design, specify, implement, and standardize a peer-2-peer overlay network protocol to collectively discuss and decide policy directly. No need to vote on it. Just assemble your team and do it.

ONE BIG CONCERN: How will it be secured? Eventually it would be nice to have the entire country running on Direct Democracy (IMO), but of course a country of this size and power, along with a majority of everyone in the world having opinions on it operations.... HUGE target for hacking.

Absolutely, not sure about form.
