Strypey (strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz)'s status on Tuesday, 28-Jan-2020 23:29:41 UTC Strypey @dsfgs I think Taiwan's hybrid model of elected representatives carrying out policy crowdsourced from the electorate using tools like #Polis are well worth considering. Their model seems to balance #DirectDemocracy pros and cons (three wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner).
