In England, there was a "parliamentary" social network

In the CIS countries, the ideas that ordinary citizens express about improving many spheres of life and work, most often remain unheard by those in power. There are many reasons for this, and we will not be distracted by the discussion of what is already being discussed on any site. And in the UK, in order to bring the idea to the ruling circles, an interesting social network Jolitics was created, the idea of ​​which is quite new. The developers have built social programs so that its structure is similar to the device of the British Parliament. Thus, the developers hope that their social network will serve not for entertainment, but for conveying the ideas approved by the majority of users to real parliamentarians.

All this is really interesting. For example, if you really want to offer your idea, then you do not need to paint it on hundreds of A4 sheets. Nobody needs all this electronic scribbling. No, in order to convey your idea to the rest, it should be as brief and clear as possible. The meaning of the sentence should fit 140 Twitter characters. The rest of the users vote on each such project, and in the case of a 50% vote in favor, this idea is sent to the legislators for consideration.

The developer of the social network Jolitics is the founder of another social network - Bebo. The author has been carrying out his development for a long time, and only now has decided to put it into practice. In principle, the plan is really not bad - a specialized resource for communication of citizens with legislators, this is not bad. The main problem, of course, is to interest politicians in the solutions offered by citizens - but if Jolitics becomes a popular resource, then this is unlikely to be a problem.

There is an interesting law in Britain - if an online appeal contains the signatures of 500 or more citizens, then government agencies are obliged to respond to such appeal. In general, the idea is quite interesting, and its chances of success are quite high. So far, the social sphere has been "driven around" in the UK, and if it is successful, it will start working in the USA, and then in other countries.
