Title: Do you believe in Digital democracy ?
Post by: DemocracyEarthFoundation on February 02, 2018, 08:08:54 PM
Hello everyone, we would like to discuss regarding digital elections.

What do you think:
1. Does blockchain resolve this problem ?
2. When and where will be the first fully digital election ?

I don't believe in democracy but if you want to know if I think democracy can prevent fraud in elections. Then yes. No idea where the first election will be held, maybe an European country or a developing country known for election fraud with the help of some developed country.

Not sure what liquid democracy is.

1) Blockchain will fully resolve this problem, there is zero doubt in my mind

2) Can't predict this but that nation state will have to be ultra progressive to try it and I commend them in advance.

3) Never heard of this concept but I am sure it is better than an Illiquid Democracy eh guys? :D

Digital elections could be a way to help governments taking decisions for specific laws and for minimizing the cost of the referendums.
I don't believe that it could be possible today because the politicians do not want to share their power with the citizens.
I agree with MoonIsBlue I don't like democracy either, at least this kind of it.
Today we have democracy one day every 4 or 5 years, on the day of the elections.
Technically speaking blockchain could be a safe solution with our ids having our address and validating our vote with our private key.
