There have been a couple things I have found recently about how we could change the way we are governed by encouraging individuals, groups and communities to input opinions to policymakers directly, and track policy making activities and legislation.
One was a report that the conservatives would set up a kind of "opinion gathering" web site, the other was an EU scheme for about the same thing. The EU scheme is:
EU 2020 Framework 7 ICT Theme
ICT-2009.7.3 objective
1. Cooperation platforms to allow groups and communities to input to government. Provide transparency and tracking of policy making.
2. Opinion visualisation, opinion mining, filtering & aggregation. Consideration of options based on behaviour & wishes of individuals, group & communities and outcomes of government proposals, decisions and legislation.
3. Use collective data to undersatnd impact of decisions across multi-lingual Europe. Establish a cloud.
Outcomes
* Empowerment and engagement of individuals in policy making. Increased trust though transparency
* Efficient collection of data to improve governance. Optimised use of public sector knowledge.
Budget €15M
