  • Demoex, an appellation short for democracy experiment, is a local Swedish political party and an experiment with direct democracy in Vallentuna, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. It uses the Internet to make it possible for any member to participate in the local government. Demoex has a representative in the municipal council, who votes in the council according to a poll that is held beforehand on the website of the party. This is unlike traditional representatives, who vote according to their own views or their party's views. Every Vallentuna resident older than 16 years can register on the website to vote; anyone in the world can take part in the debates, if they can write in Swedish. Voters do not have to vote on all issues; the fewer votes on an issue, the more weight each vote carries. To boost participation, the party allows users to choose someone to advise them on a particular topic. Demoex was founded on March 6, 2002, and won a local election in the municipality Vallentuna that year. 2002-2010 the Demoex representative was 19-year-old student Parisa Molagholi, elected on 4 November 2002 with 1.7% of the votes. She began serving as representative in 2003, and was re-elected in 2006 with 2.9% of the votes. Her success has astonished traditional politicians. The party's representative, Per Norbäck, was elected in 2010 with 1.76% of the vote. Demoex intends to become a national party and eventually an international party on the same principles. The Demoex system is a political hybrid which uses e-democracy to inject direct democracy into a system of representative democracy. This creates a semi-representative democracy, similar to one that has been used in Switzerland since the late 19th century. In pure direct democracy, there are no representatives, or there are only proxy representatives with limited power. By contrast, in a representative democracy, the elected representatives have all the power to make political decisions. The Swiss Landsgemeinde is one of the oldest and purest forms of direct democracy. It was originally introduced in the Swiss Canton of Uri in 1231, and was structured as an open-air gathering, usually in springtime, where votes were expressed by a show of raised hands. This system is still used in the Canton of Glarus and Appenzell Innerrhoden. (en)

  • Democracia experimental (Demoex), um partido político sueco local, é uma experiência em democracia direta electrónica, com votações pela internet, que teve início durante um seminário denominado "TI - Tecnologia da Informação e a Democracia" realizado em Outubro de 2000 numa escola de Vallentuna, um subúrbio de Estocolmo. Uma das razões de sua criação, além do desencanto generalizado com os políticos tradicionais, foi o fato de que na democracia representativa a opinião do Povo só é consultada uma vez a cada quatro anos. E após serem eleitos, os políticos tradicionais podem agir praticamente como bem entenderem até a próxima eleição As discussões que se iniciaram naquele seminário, tanto online como na vida real, levaram um grupo de estudantes e professores a fundar um partido político Demoex, sem ideologia (no significado direita-esquerda), sem plataforma, e sem sede física, e que só tinha uma promessa: a democracia direta. Esse partido concorreu às eleições municipais em Setembro de 2002, e obteve um único assento na câmara municipal de Vallentuna. Actualmente o sistema opera de forma que o representante eleito para a câmara vote de acordo com os resultados das votações online feitas pelos membros do partido. (pt)
