SYDNEY — A new Australian political party is using the virtual currency Bitcoin as a model to replace what it says is an outdated political system — representative democracy — with a streamlined new polity for the information age.
The Flux Party says its goal is to elect six Senators. They will propose no policies and will not follow their consciences, but will support or block legislation at the direction of their members, who can swap or trade their votes on every Bill online. “If they didn’t have to be Senators, if they could just be software or robots, they would be, because their only purpose is to do what the people want them to do,” Flux Party co-founder Max Kaye told Reuters.
