Hi everyone,
Over at openDemocracy the OurKingdom team has been working with
Michael Wills at the Ministry to Justice to consider how the internet
can help representative democracy and assist citizen initiatives such
as the summit he is planning and about to announce. We have called
the discussion 'Networking Democracy'. Some of you - eg Steve - have
already participated in the initial exchanges. It started the public
phase this evening. You can see the intro to it where we are hosting
comments here:

We hope there will be a free discussion of the issues - eg here -
especially those we inexcusably did not get round to inviting like
Stephen :-(
