German state media have systematically slandered Charlie Kirk in the wake of his assassination, says Eugyppius. They portray him as an unhinged and dangerous fascist, just stopping short of blaming him for his own death.

Swedish online party stirs municipal democracy

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Friday September 17, 2004 16:07author by redjade Report this post to the editors

.

Student Parisa Molagholi, 21, has astonished traditional politicians in the municipal council of Swedish town Vallentuna for the past two years.

      Molagholi is the representative of a group called Demoex, which has introduced a completely new way to participate in politics. She does not vote in the council according to her own or her party's views, but her vote is dependent on the online vote that is held beforehand on the website of the party. Every Vallentuna resident over the age of sixteen can register at the website to vote.

      In other words, Molagholi represents a new type of more direct democracy. Similar online parties have been planned around the world, but evidently the dreams have come true only in Vallentuna to date.

What is Demoex?

Short for Democracy Experiment. An association for directdemocracy via Internet. We make it possible to be active in the local governments debates for anyone, but only members have the rights to vote and thereby influence our sea
