ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

This website shows that thousands of citizens can be included in democratic decision-making delivering sound practical outcomes. We no longer need flawed political processes or even political parties. 

We use various methods to include citizens in decision-making. Issues are discussed in a deliberative fashion rather than decided via simple polling.

We include people from any and every background. All opinions are welcome. Nothing is censored, hidden, or withheld unless it is illegal or plainly offensive. Everyone’s views and the patterns of their choices are immediately available to all participants, and there are filters to enable ‘deep diving’ into the data.
