The app that lets you pay to control another person's life

I was talking to a guy who's planning to launch a series of hyper-local political parties in the UK (starting in Harrogate).

He told me about how things work in Taiwan - using a bit of software called Polis - designed to find consensus amongst differing opinions, and using that as the basis for policy decisions.

This guy was going to use Polis to poll party members so the representatives would be governed directly by feedback from members - with Polis ensuring that it didn't break down into factionalism.

Information about how Polis is used in Taiwan is here: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/taiwan-democracy-social-medi...

Have you tried getting the Polis open source code running? Last time I tried there was some sort of error resulting in not passing JS files to the browser.

Andrew Gray. I've not spoken to him for a long time; I'm guessing his plans got put on hold by the pandemic.
