I would like to share my idea with you and hear what you think about it.

We are all living now in an era that is marked by power fleeting from the hands of an individual. Political power is hiding in the clouds of globalization. All around the world voting percentages sink as we feel powerless in the face of massive chances in our economy, environment and communities. I personally feel that our national organizations for political power are too small and rigid to return the power to the citizens. I feel that continental organizations (EU) are hierarchically tangled structures that hides power. Global organizations such as NATO or UN have their foundation in old world structures. In the time past. All around the world political segments are divided with 20th century politics. Right and left exist while the concept of work is changing fast. The workers are the owners and vice versa. But again: we lack a powerful structure to do decisions together. We talk about global village, but we don´t share the same values and principles.

I feel I need to suggest something here.

Lets form new party. Lets put together a Wikiparty. A party which creates its political opinions in the same way that wikipedia forms its articles. Lets try to think ways to systematically solve differences of opinions. This party could vote for its representatives to different political parliaments. These "agents" of Wikiparty would interpret the ideas of Wikiparty to real voting situations and pass the ideas of the community to the parliament. This way we could challenge the traditional parties to a debate between weak and strong democracy. This kind of virtual community that aims to a real life political chance, could reach over national borders and grasp problems caused by for example globalization or climate change. This way the real people in the grass roots would try to form political will to do changes we need. Eventually I feel, this kind of approach could lead to an "operating system of society". A system that would allow you to make changes to real life in real time just by telling your idea on the possible Wikiparty site.

This idea is free for you to remix, copy, spread and realize.

Yours truly,


 * An interesting suggestion...anyways, Halopedia has four political parties, although they really don't have strong real world political opinions, if at all. Cheers, Relen tless Recu sant http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK •  WORK   • SPEAK 00:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
