interview of the "Prague Spring" with Leena Simon
. "The Pirate Party attaches great importance to inner-party democracy you this, based on the idea of" Liquid Democracy
Leena Simon. Liquid Democracy is an attempt, by means of modern software and networking technology to introduce a new level of participation. It all have the chance to decide whether to use their voice to a certain subject or even to a others delegate, which they trust more on this expertise. Since I can withdraw my vote any time, speaks of "liquid", ie liquid democracy. It is a concept that must be tested, but could revolutionize politics. Even the federal cares about "Liquid feedback.
pf: And you think that works with the pirates?
Simon: It depends, unfortunately, does not depend on Liquid feedback, but on whether the pirates make it to test this tool in a constructive process and refine. Some difficulty arises only in the active treatment and which should be overcome then. Since shows are just a few Difficulties. To the pirates have their social skills to work a little :-).
pf: Is it possible that may not be lifted even if the particular rule Liquid Democracy moments.
Simon: Of course. Liquid Democracy is no panacea. It does not relieve us of our political responsibility. It offers new ways to solve political problems. How do we solve it, is still with us. The current conditions are only in theory all the same access to Liquid feedback. In practice, it looks like yet another way. Since not only the sex is important, but also age, education and socialization. These conditions have to be modified to Liquid feedback can be truly democratic. Liquid feedback can not create the conditions necessary for its implementation. But that is no reason not to test it now and develop.
pf: Gender quotes would be compatible with Liquid Democracy?
Simon: The powerful positions are held still by secret ballot. The other question is whether rates are the best way to produce the same conditions. Many pirates are of the opinion that in LD the balance of the sexes would only prepared by the joint work online because the sex is irrelevant. Even if this were so, the Pirate Party will be bound to to solve this problem on the gender level offices. Odds are yes no total solution brought about by the hair pulled. You react to it, that play the classic structure of a party with items, rather the male species, as women often are not so keen to face such a center stage. One may think is wrong quotations. But then you have to deal with this phenomenon in other ways and there are the pirates just very unimaginative. This challenge can not be ignored, but one has to face her.
