Project

To help create and promote parties with only one element in their program: Direct Democracy ("a form of democracy in which sovereignty is lodged in the assembly of all citizens who choose to participate").

E2D parties are to be politically non-partisan and their agenda entirely based on people’s decision, determined by means of referendums and initiatives organized by party members and citizens. These organized systems will thus allow citizens to vote on propositions of laws submitted by elected members of parliament, but also to propose new laws.

Mission

The mission for Electronic Direct Democracy (E2D) International is:

to help establish, to support and promote, and to maintain communication and co-operation between politically-neutral electronic direct democracy parties around the world.

The E2D Manifesto

The E2D Manifesto, collaboratively drafted in February 2011 by representatives from Citizens for Direct Democracy, Online Party of Canada, Partido de Internet, Aktiv Demokrati, Demoex, Senator Online and Partidul Romania Online using Participedia.net, is a document which describes the basic political principles of E2D International. The E2D Manifesto was inspired by the ideas of Aki Orr, amongst others.

gollark: CC networking is difficult because you need security but also easy because you can get away with simple but bad routing schemes.
gollark: Or just route everything over the interwebnets.
gollark: Scaleable mesh networking is a Hard Problem™ although CC will probably let you get away with a not very scalable setup.
gollark: It doesn't do that. It does management over SPUDNET.
gollark: Wondrous.
