Demoex
Demoex, an appellation short for ''democracy experiment'', is a local Swedish political party and an experiment with direct democracy in Vallentuna, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden.〔(- DirectDemocracy online.'' Stockholm Challenge Award 2007-2008 )〕 It uses the Internet to make it possible for any member to participate in the local government. Demoex has a representative in the municipal council, who votes in the council according to a poll that is held beforehand on the website of the party. This is unlike traditional representatives, who vote according to their own views or their party's views. Every Vallentuna resident older than 16 years can register on the website to vote; anyone in the world can take part in the debates, if they can write in Swedish. Voters do not have to vote on all issues; the fewer votes on an issue, the more weight each vote carries. To boost participation, the party allows users to choose someone to advise them on a particular topic.
Demoex was founded on March 6, 2002, and won a local election in the municipality Vallentuna that year. The Demoex representative is 19-year-old student Parisa Molagholi, elected on 4 November 2002 with 1.7% of the votes. She began serving as representative in 2003, and was re-elected in 2006 with 2.9% of the votes. Her success has astonished traditional politicians. The party's representative, Per Norbäck, was elected in 2010 with 1.76% of the vote.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vallentuna - Röster - Val 2010 )〕 Demoex intends to become a national party and eventually an international party on the same principles.〔(A report recently published in the Swedish press.'' WDD Newsletter, Vol. 5 (No. 1) March 2003 )〕
The Demoex system is a political hybrid which uses e-democracy to inject direct democracy into a system of representative democracy. This creates a semi-representative democracy, similar to one that has been used in Switzerland since the late 19th century.〔(Online Democracy Instead of Established Parties.'' Notes from Sweden, September 5th, 2006 )〕 In pure direct democracy, there are no representatives, or there are only proxy representatives with limited power. By contrast, in a representative democracy, the elected representatives have all the power to make political decisions. The Swiss ''Landsgemeinde'' is one of the oldest and purest forms of direct democracy.〔(is 'Landsgemeinde' )〕 It was originally introduced in the Swiss Canton of Uri in 1231, and was structured as an open-air gathering, usually in springtime, where votes were expressed by a show of raised hands. This system is still used in the Canton of Glarus and Appenzell Innerrhoden.〔(democracy springs eternal.'' Glarus, Switzerland: SwissInfo.com May 15, 2006 12:56PM )〕〔(réduit radicalement le nombre de ses communes.'' Glarus, Switzerland: SwissInfo.ch, May 7 2006 - 16:58 ) 〕
== Ideology ==
Although Demoex does not stand for any defined policy, it has a clear ideology: To extend the degree of democracy in society. They claim that technological solutions have surpassed the political. With the help of information technology Demoex wants to create liquid democracy.
