Wiki instead of political fuss on TV
Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia and the universal guide Wikia , called on representatives of interested political parties to participate in the discussion of the new project.
In his address to political bloggers, Jimmy Wales literally says: “For more than fifty years, we have lived in an era of television politics. In the 50s. television, for the first time, began to have a major impact on politics, and the results were stunning. Broadcast media gave us a broadcast telepolicy. To be completely honest, you need to admit: conservative or liberal, right or left, but telepolitics is stupid, stupid and stupid. ” Under the influence of TV, political campaigns began to adapt more and more to the format of television, and by now have largely turned into a television show.
At the same time, at the beginning of the XXI century, blogs and wiki formed a new information space on the Internet - the blogosphere. According to Jimmy Wales, new media are quite capable of spawning a new era of politics. Unlike broadcasting campaigns, a new type of policy will be more intellectual, closer to people and will involve the participation of every citizen.
In the future, professional advisers who take part in political campaigns will have to continuously monitor the blogosphere and coordinate their actions with it. Only a politician who has managed to build a broad community of involved participants online can win the election.

In order for such a future to become a reality, it is necessary to begin work now. Jimmy Wales encourages everyone to register on the Campaigns Wikia website, created specifically for political campaigns, and subscribe to an email newsletter where professional issues will be discussed: how to eradicate the practice of “broadcasting telepolicy” and move on to an intellectual, blog-based policy of the future.
The Jimmy Wales initiative is not the first step towards a “network democracy”. Earlier, there were projects that are designed to accelerate the transition to a new political system, which will be based on Internet technologies. For example, the wiki-project Democracy 2.0 is a conceptual experiment in the field of joint legislative activity. The project is based on the hypothesis that a wide range of ordinary citizens are able to work together to create the ideal laws of their country, so that people can easily refuse the services of the legislative branch of power.
