Comment on German Pirate Party overtakes Greens on latest poll

Quite interesting is also their approach to finding positions via voting on an open online platform (which is open sourced by the way: http://www.public-software-group.org/liquid_feedback ) where each member can vote itself and also delegate its vote for different topics to other members.

I didn't know that. I was dreaming of a party that voted like this based on the input of all it's constituents since ten years or so. Maybe I should move to Berlin after all!

You can even participate if you are not a party member.

And that's what their long term vision also includes: Large scale, direct, participation (using digital means) of many people in the political process. They call this concept "Liquid democracy"
