Landomore spends some time with "liquid democracy." The DRP fellow was ahead of her time.

The first few chapters were mostly about academic hair-splitting. Kind of waste of time for people like you and I to read.

Even the good stuff has too many references that get in the way of interesting ideas. But if one wants to have credibility in this academic field, one has te play this game.

The DRP fellow laid out his idea very well, such that a high school education could comprehend it. The ideas in Landemore's book may already be in more platable format somewhere. But my experience on Medium and other places is that the non-acandemic world is really not interested in different systems of governance.

The province of British Columbia had three referunda in 16 years to replace its Westminster system, which almost everyone complains about. Each referumdum failed.

The second version of my book (2004) had some research to back up my points. But there really wasn't anyone talking about ZERO political parties. So any connections I was making were kind of specious. For this reason and my lack of academic credentials, there really wasn't much point to present the TDG as an acadimic concept. I abandoned the academic approach for the third version (2009). It was more fun to write without all those references.

It's been a week since I last looked at Landemore. Too many distractions in my life.
