The GlobalVote Initiative
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007Introducing the latest, exciting new Globalhood initiative: GlobalVote.
GlobalVote is an internet based polling system that casts ballots on current resolutions from the UN, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank, among other International Organizations. Just as these organizations vote according to nationality, GlobalVote participants become virtual members of their own national parliaments.
Taking place in GlobalVote means taking place in a pure, democratic experiment on an international level. Most International Organizations vote behind closed doors, without recourse to the general public. In insisting on maximum transparency for all ballots that are cast, GlobalVote aims to show that a fair and proper voting system can be used in a realistic way to discern global public opinion. We not only plan to give these results in official memorada to the Secretary General of the UN and to other International Organizations, but to pollsters and the media as well.
The GlobalVotes website (globalvotes.org) is still under construction but updates will be provided on this blog on a regular basis.
