Put politics in de Public Domain. Tell people what you want and don't want to be true.

Right now Addemocracy is global. It will be possible to define your own democracy, based on email and a name. Other features will be an email update on a daily or weekly basis.

How it works

You can add your own recommendations. If they are adopted they get their own life, meaning the recommendation will exist independent of whether you still adopt it. A recommendation that nobody adopts disappears (no record). There is a limit to the number of recommendations you can adopt, so you need to prioritize in order to combine forces.

You IP is your ID, a cookie is stored that will expire, when that happens your selection is lost.

We remove records after a while so people that do not revisit do not influence the votes.

States

- Most popular
- Newest
- Most controversial (changes in ownership)
- Best unrealized (Good and untrue)
- Rost realized (Bad and true)
- By country, region, city, etc

What is wrong with government

1. News channels are not working
2. Corporations have the upper hand in lawmaking
3. Corporation sprioritize short temr gains in an unnecesarry competition
4. Banks set the stage for competition for their own profit
5. Politicians are openly bought
6. Money is assumed to be sufficient reward

How to make it right

1. Create a real time democracy
2. Focus on what we want instead of who says what
3. Make all opinions of politicians transparent to all
4. Incentivise based on results

Identification process

1. IP/Localization
2. Email/Localization
3. Full identification (externally anonymous)

Procedure
1. IP is stored, no cookie, free service
2. If email is submitted, that is stored with a cookie, password is send, free service
3. If name is given that is stored, can be changed or erased at any time, free service
4. In case of championing, the name is checked and locked, possibly using linkedin to affirm data, this does incurr a cost
5. Non championing full member is also checked and locked, possibly using linkedin to affirm data, this does incurr a cost
6. Paying members can fund based on outcome, this functionality is not yet implemented
6. Erasing all data is possible at all times.

Identification becomes important when you want to know how the voters in a specific region are positioned. Also if the public wants to know what politicians really believe or want, they can ask him/her to identify him/her self on this site and show what they support. Also if there is an issue an electable official wants to champion he/she can identify his/her self and indicate they champion a certain state (not implemented yet).

How democracies work

A user can create a democracy which is based on a question that invites suggestions. The democracy has an expiration date, which is the date at which the vote will be closed. After expiration the results will stay online for a week more and then deleted.

The user that creates the democracy forwards a link he recieves to whomever he/she wants to participate. All participants need to have their own ip adresses.

The functionality will be the same for private as well as global democracie sthroughout the suggestion period.

A new table was created called questions. the aim is to create a toplevel where questions are posed. The question is bound by a country, city or geolocation. This geolocation is a pasted in link to google maps for the time being. Hopefully questions can be found by location eventually.

A question has a deadline after which it can no longer be voted on. The results remain stored. This is to make it possible for questions to be raised and resolved within a certian period, keeping them actual.
