    I actually think the time has come for the idea of true democracy - where everyone gets to vote in parliament on every thing - a large percentage of the population carries a smart phone and would be able to install an app to vote in federal issues. I think that's what the Senator Online party were aiming for. If the time hasn't come already for this style of democracy, it will soon...

    I know you said it, but that is exactly what the Senator Online party does.

    I wonder if we could lobby one of the two new 'accidental' senators to adopt this strategy for all bills for which they have no policy or direction from their party (motoring enthusiast party of Victoria and Sports Party of WA - I'm looking at you).

    Or put http://www.senatoronline.org.au/ first. If they get a senator in, you can direct them to vote how you want and lobby your friends to do the same..

    Well, there is an open democracy party there, called Senator Online, which would let everyone participate in Senate decisions. But I think Scientologists would have to have an overwhelming majority of the population for that to count. Certainly true if SOL is an open governance organization, since those appear to be consensus-based.

    So move that government aside and build real democracy, made up of our minds.

    There's a party started up for the forthcoming Australian elections called Senator Online. Basically if one of them is elected to the senate they will vote according to online polls conducted through their website by members (which need to have their name on the electoral roll) http://www.senatoronline.org.au/.
