Democracy Workshop

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Special guest appearance by: Louis XIV

Inspired by the concept of the "paperless office" (Mr. Bill Gates) and the "officeless company" (me) Louis XIV came to the idea of a public administration where the work of the state government and parliament was done by computers instead of persons... Municipalities could be run the same way by computers... The advantage of this idea would be that fewer persons ruled over the head of citizens and criminals were less able to be incorporated by the public administration... Citizens could be asked for their opinion via internet more often - instead of leaders deciding about everything...

I had 2 additions to the above concept:

a) Computers and humans shouldn't emulate in the public administration but they should work as redundant systems... Not only a ratio of 100 to 100% or 50 to 50% between humans and computers could be imagined but ratios of 10 to 90% or other asymmetrical numbers as well...

b) There must be politicians who love their job and work for the people... There must be politicians, too who are loved by the citizens... You could have the best of human factor in the public administration by employing such politicians...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
