Problems of todayDemocracy in Croatia:
Voters choose only election lists,predetermined by political parties
Votes are divided among candidates withhigher places on the list (D'Hondt method)
There is no possibility of choosing whichpeople from lists are preferred
MP's with majority elect the government,government then selects members oflegislative working groups

Problems of todayDemocracy in Croatia: legislation work groups prepare text
propositions which pass through government
"tweaking" before parliamentary debate parliament majority usually approves given
propositions without too much debate Prime minister usually controls his party and
thus majority of the parliament. Very strongconcentration of power in hands of a few
public deliberation is rudimentary, and public
have little interference in the political process

First step As a Pirate party we promote e-democracy,
liquid feedback, transparency, crowdsourcingand other innovations in democratic
processes All of this is long way ahead for Croatia, and
we must start somewhere We have chosen to build upon existing legal
and technical infrastructure and thus topromote use of e-democracy tools
project is flexible enough to be upgraded in
later stages to e-voting or even liquidfeedback

project: legislation e-working groups
we have developed a tool that can be usefulfor collaboration on text documents inlegislation working groups
government still chooses experts, but we givethem environment for transparent discussions
Idea is to show reasoning experts deliberatewhen proposing certain legislation(ratio legis)
If public would disapprove certain proposals,government might give up certain unpopularmoves.
if disagreement would be strong, peoplewould be able to or anize and ressure

AAI@Edu publicinfrastructure
[email protected] is a national authenticationsystem for academic institutions, integratedwith the eduroam system
Quick access to a large number of userswhose qualifications are already known,and can be translated to initialkarma The "karma" will be modified as the users interact
among themselves
Initially, this allows us to set upa platform to talk about theeducational system

employment e-certificatedatabase
All workers in Croatia used to haveemployment certificates similar to drivinglicence (for pensions and social security)
ministry of working relations is switching toe-certificates databases with all data aboutemployment history on one place (similarto CV)
we can use data from AAI@edu and e-workcertificates to give detailed initial "forumkarma"

Why e-Demoracy?
"e" is because the Internet has changedthe rules
The technology allows us to be smarter We (should) have ways to verify the user's
credentials and work experience We translate these into "experience points" or
"karma points" Users with higher karma (probably)
should be heard "louder" ... but everyone, every time
should have the chance to speak
Self-moderating (?) crowdsourcing(?)

Basic tenets
Everyone should be able to participate inlaw-making By using the ideas of liquid democracy, not
everyone will have to participate directly Expert users should be heard the "loudest"
in the discussion But every input is important and will be recorded
Expert users earn their statusby combining education data, and"karma" from their interactionwith other users
