Electronic Direct Democracy Political Party Project
Description
A project of the Participedia:
"To create parties with only one element in their program: Direct Democracyon the basis of the binding referendum of popular initiative.
The political agenda of the party will depend entirely on people’s decision, determined by means of referenda organized by the party. These referenda will thus allow citizens to vote on propositions of laws submitted by the parliament, but also to propose new laws.
The main role of the party will be to organize referenda and initiatives." (http://www.participedia.net/wiki/Electronic_Direct_Democracy_%28EDD%29)
