A "public" web forum to discuss policy issues would be an incredible boon to democracy, as it would surface real concerns of people and allow for trade-offs and original ideas as opposed to superficial and stale ideas handed down from the ruling class.
Would you have me as mayor of your town ? I would promise to reduce taxes, and increase services, just like the Fords did. But I could do it. And my top priority would be to engender real discussion on issues.
Vote for me.
