Democracy is still organized according to an ancient model. Democracy has become a tradition where populists feel at home. Real politicians (game changers) must also dress up as puppets, so that they too can enter the populist political puppet show with one-liners and clinchers during election time. Technology could help liberate democracy from tradition and thus from populism: digital voting per theme. In the Netherlands almost all have one or more themes that are important for the future of our country, our continent and / or our planet. Or maybe a combination: digital voting on themes and 1 vote for or against a profiled politician?
