The NextElection Vision
Create the civic engagement system - bring back genuine participation to the hijacked public sphere
Help citizens choose leadership and influence policy in a way that supports society & human beings
Democratize political marketing tools to remove the barrier for everyday citizens to contest (and win) elections
So why does the world need NextElection?
Quality of democracy depends on effective accountability mechanisms - not sustainable unless we create the right environmental conditions
The public sphere has been hijacked - politicians, talk show hosts, experts and the general public interact in a way that requires little commitment and no skin in the game
Political marketing is predominantly performed on digital mediums – mass or tailored, but there is no issue based political (social) network in the world
Deep information asymmetry – information and statistics are manipulated in various ways. Public spirited journalism is not easy to sustain, even at the best of times.
