Given that the Italian political scene is always particularly shaky - even more these days that some members of the majority have defected to the so-called "new pole", I have decided to try and apply some forms of liquid democracy to my experience as Senator. Soon some topics will be launched for that exercise. Stay tuned!
What is Liquid Democracy
A democratic system in which most issues are decided by direct referendum. However, since no one has time for this, you can delegate your votes. Here’s the cool part; you can delegate your votes on a certain topic to one person, and then delegate your votes on another topic to someone else. And delegations are transitive; you can delegate to someone who delegates to someone else, etc, in which case your votes will flow to whoever is at the end of the line. Of course, you can “un-delegate” at any time.
So, say you don’t know much about the space program – you give your votes on things relating to the space program to someone who has similar political views to you but who knows more about the space program (and they can pass the vote on if they choose).

Interesting and not so far from my geolibertarian point of view.

No, I have not. Now I'm only studing! Sorry.
