Hello, and guess what...

Hi,

I joined. Those who know me well may have seen me go on about voting
systems. I joined in part because I support the overall goals of the
project, and in part because I will be bound to vote against it in its
current shape. And a lot of that is to do with the way that
representatives are chosen.

I have 4 basic areas where I think there needs to be work:
1. "The one vote - most votes wins" proposal.
     For me this is an absolute stumbling block.
2. The lack of a mechanism for webizen representatives to seek feedback on
issues.
     I think we can do better than the current proposal, without introducing
major changes that frighten anyone.
3. The lack of any accountability for their responses
     I think it is critical that Webizens know how their representatives
voted.
4. How many representatives should there be?
     I have a proposal...

I'll write separate threads for each of these.

cheers

Chaals
