eDemocracy
Local and Central Goverments are often very good
at communicating to their consituents. Increasingly,
the Internet is being used effectively as a one-to-many
medium, to making information available about Government
issues and activities. Most democratic Government
organisations are good at many-to-one communication,
too. Many constituents are able to vote and make
submissions. Some actually do. Conversations around local
issues among citizens, however, often happen in small
isolated groups, if at all. eDemocracy use online
media to facilitate open conversations among citizens
around public isses.
