So you have all probably seen the #DeBill chatter that has been going around the past few weeks, all relating to the new laws that have been pushed through parlament tackling issues such as copyright. I won’t go into that, but a recent post I made on Twitter via http://www.votethemout.co.uk/ enabled a local MP of mine to find me. He sent me a message letting me know he was my standing in my local area as an independent.
After checking out his website I found he had an interesting idea. It is all focused around what he calls ‘Direct democracy’. If he gets elected then he will post up bills that will be debated and voted on in parlament. Local citizens will be able to log onto his website and vote for they would like him to vote.
A new model of democracy where the masses are able to influence a decision in parlament directly?
