Each political party have specific shortcomings that can’t be removed, because the leaders are guarding those shortcoming for their benefit or for being in power.

What is the mission of OD
To create an ideal system to internally manage a democratic party. The system will be supreme than the individual being elected by that system. It will be open to change and managed by community not by those being elected. Its efficiency would be continuously improved with latest technologies to help run a party from smallest village level to national level.

What can be changed in the system and what can not
Anything can be changed if majority of the community feels so. Community will be the owner of the system. In the core of the system there will be principals like Democracy, secular, equality etc. There would be some parts of the system that would be easy to change and others would be difficult to change. The system would be modular. If at anytime the community feels that those influential have modified the system to there benefit. The community may scrap the system to be rebuilt, with freshly elected representatives. Rebuilding would be easy because of modularity of the system. The system may be forked. The system would be open to change any number of times even the name. It may have ideas mentioned in this blog post or may not have depending upon the community.

Which political party will use this system
The system will be open (with GNU and Creative Commons licences) and can be used by any democratic paty to run itself.
