The Next Democracy
Where you get to vote on every issue or decision that matters to you
Imagine voting on every issue via your phone, delegating your vote on complex topics to experts you trust (instantly revocable!), & all with zero paid political ads.
"The Next Democracy" proposes this as an overlay to current systems.
