It is in part a development of the ePetition systems that are operating at various levels of government (e.g. 10 Downing Street) and may be categorised as a subset of eDemocracy.

Famous quotes containing the word democracy:
“A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
