Well they vet members against the electoral roll, so your bot army would have to spoof real people. I just checked it out. All their policy documents are hosted on github. They're very progressive.

How can you be both progressive and a digital direct democracy at the same time? You're whatever the people voting through you are, neither progressive nor conservative. :v

We also have a Pirate Party too, for what it's worth. Sadly they're not nearly as developed as their Swedish counterpart, who are the third largest political party in their country.

The body responsible for the marvellous breakthrough of Bloodless Amputation (tm).  Or perhaps not.  Got to love the public echo chamber.  Wait you can't hear that high pitched noise?

Given that a Pakistani Council of Islamic Law recently supported beating your wife for refusing to have sex with you, I can't say I'm too fond of the idea of a country's judicial system following Islamic ideals.

"It would be very impressive if the index study was conducted by an independent third party. Unfortunately, this one is initiated by the Malaysian government themselves.
Yes, the team consists of about 130 experts from local universities, but it is led by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department or JAKIM, which is a government agency."
