Vote rank

A step towards direct democracy. This is regarding a new system that can empower each individual to have equal say in the decisions that affect his/her life

The system would be very similar to what search engines use e.g google's 'page rank' decides the importance or relevance of the web page, similarly we intend to make a VOTE RANK or person's vote rank where a particular person would have weightge of his vote on important decisions.

Suppose the country have to decide on particular important policy and the voice of people need to be taken. Now the problem comes, that all of them do not have enough information or knowledge about the field but they would like to vote. In the system they would empower them and they can give a part of their votes weight to somebody else to make that persons vote have more weight.

Example: A citizen's vote would have one unit of weight. When the country (or city, locality e.t.c) is asking for the feedback from citizens on a policy e.g. regarding 'space / satellite project'. Now a particular citizen as an indiviudal know that 'Dr. Kalam' (space scientist and former president of India) might have sufficient knowledge about the subject, and the citizens's close friend who is very educated might have better understanding about this field then him and he too have some opinion but not that much knowledge. So the system would let me divide his vote into different parts. i.e. he can give my 50 % (or any other percentage) of his vote weight to Dr Kalam, 30% to his friend and remaining 20% to his very vote. Of the total 100% weitage, one can divide in any number of people he/she choose and can retain a portion for himself/herself. Some other person might not dilute his weight, and can retain 100% of his vote's weight, as per his/her wish.

The decisions taken with this method at national (city, state or village...) level, would be much more better, democratic and would involve wisdom of the masses. The system would be open source and can be fine tuned continually to make it better.

It would help creating a better, involved and active society. People can decide in which direction the community and nation should move. Fast decision making and fast change in the positive direction would be the result. It would usher the dawn of a new era of better democracy, transparency and a society open to new ideas and change.
