The PM's Office



The PMs office is split into 4 departments:
  • Private Office
  • Political Office
  • Press Office
  • Policy Directorate
Under the Interactive Democracy (ID) system I would expect that this structure would continue. Much of the governments agenda would be set through the ID system and I would imagine that the Political Office and the Policy Directorate would work closely together to encourage votes from party members, in order to create a majority that would push the desired policies through the public ID system. Us voters would decide if we liked them or not.

The Power of The Press and Disinformation



As it stands, parliament has various mechanisms in place to discourage disinformation in politics. If the electorate are going to decide issues of government based on "facts" presented in the media, does there need to be an increase in accountability in the press? While a free press is crucial to any democracy, lying in the media may need to become a criminal offense!
