Jan
Bhagidari : a
LIQUID democracy ?
Our PM , Shri
Modiji has been talking of “ Subka Saath -
Subka Vikas “ for a long time and exhorting citizens to
send in their suggestions for improving governance
Half way around the world , in far off city of Boulder ( Colorado –
USA ) , Camilo Casas says , if elected
to the city council , he will not make any decision by himself.
Instead, he plans to put that power in the hands
of the people via a liquid democracy
app
called Parti.Vote.

http://www.parti.vote/
The idea is that instead of simply hoping their
elected representatives support their
stance on issues, citizens
will be empowered to directly affect policy-making by voting through the app.
If Casas were to be elected, citizens of Boulder
would sign up for the app online, with Casas’ team vetting each person to
prevent fraud.
Casas
would then vote according to how the people in the community did through the
app.
For example, if more than 50 per cent voted “yes” on an issue or policy, Casas
would vote the same way, regardless
of his personal stance on the issue.
Only when the citizen votes resulted in a tie
would he be forced to decide based on his own beliefs.
For details of how
Camilo plans to implement this , what he calls , “ Liquid Democracy “ , read :
If , Shri Modiji – who is also the architect
of JAM trinity ( Jan Dhan Bank accounts / Aadhar ID card / Mobile Apps ) – wants
to translate his “ Subka
Saath , Subka Vikas “ into an instrument of Jan Bhagidari , then I urge him to ask NITI
Aayog and the concerned Ministries to implement the following suggestions (
earlier sent as emails ) :
