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:
“Even under the most perfect Social Democracy we should, without Communism, still be living like hogs, except that each hog would get his fair share of grub.... Whilst we are hogs, let us at least be well-fed, healthy, reciprocally useful hogs, instead of—well, instead of the sort we are at present.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
