Wikiparty

Wikiparty is bringing new ways to do politics. It´s based on the idea of open politics. The movement has started in Finland and will spread around the world in one form or another. Democracy is grown weak around the world. Even in the rich OECD countries the voting percentages are declining.

Lets put together a Wikiparty. A party that creates its political opinions in the same way that wikipedia forms its articles. Lets try to think ways to systematically create political force. 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 real people in the grass roots coul try to form political structure to do changes we need. Eventually this kind of approach could maybe lead to an "operating system of society". A system that would allow you to make changes to real life politics in real time just by telling your idea on the Wikiparty site.
