POLICY IDEAS BEING PITCHED ON THE NIGHT…
The regulator’s code must be open
Law’s are published, and available to citizens so that they know what is a crime and what a citizen’s duty is and what evidence can be presented to prove guilt. Evidence is tested in an open court, elections are counted in public. Where code is law or evidence, the code must be open.

Referenda and digital democracy
The internet was once heralded as an opportunity for greater citizen involvement in governance, but nothing substantial has yet materialised. With two referenda placed on the agenda by a prime minister to suit his own political objectives, could the first substantial electronic intervention in how our democracy functions come from determining how referenda are called?
