Nutshell: True, participative, pure democracy will become reality and spread via the internet.
Vision:Gradually the internet will be utilized with appropriate safeguards against fraud to extend democracy. The spread will be from local to national to international politics. First will come special referendums directly taken from the people. Later, representatives will be elected from votes taken on the internet. Finally, the people will be directly consulted on all important matters without having elected representatives doing most or all of the voting.
