Every now and then you find a new idea that is intriguing. Wiki-Government is one such idea. I think this shows promise, particularly for smaller units of government and quasi-governmental entities such as advisory councils, commissions, and task forces.
Another curious governance idea is professional voting, which has a lot less appeal. This form of election assumes that voters should vote on the basis of issues, but many people vote on a different basis, such as character, intelligence, or core beliefs. And, even for issue voters, most find that no candidate sides with them on all issues; these voters have to decide which issues are most important to them and would never cede that decision to a “professional voter”.
