Editor's Notes
- Mid 2013; got frustrated and bored of just complaining. Proposed that we start an open source manifesto Refused to do so Steve Pike did, which then meant I got stuck in.
- Adopted the manifesto, still an independent project. Another idea from open source - an open project with a “delivery arm”. Offering voters an open democracy fit for the 21st Century.
- Voting rules Anyone can edit, submit a change Change can be reviewed by anyone, and all existing contributors get to vote Agree, Abstain, or Block
- “Benevolent dictator” Ideally everything is automatic
- After 1 year, we had got 8000 words of policy across loads of areas, from around 25 contributors. Key ideas: openness, transparency, better democracy, eventually some form of liquid democracy. Build a system for the 21st century. Taking on big problems. Evidence based. Technology enabled, but with strong social conscience and progressive ideals; a better world for *everyone*. Not the Silicon Valley tech-libertarianism that thinks it can “opt out”. MVP is about testing your assumptions, so:
- Adopted the manifesto, still an independent project. Another idea from open source - an open project with a “delivery arm”. Offering voters an open democracy fit for the 21st Century.

- Not just building a new media, we’re building a new nervous system. And the debate and chaos of the Internet is part of that.
- Because politics is about how we choose to work together, and openness and collaboration is our choice. Our vision of how we can build a better future. We need new choices that reflect the amazing future we could have
- Join us, help us build the future. Donations
