It aims to change human participation in politics worldwide through Internet. Big brothers (state) little brother (society).
Problema
To increase the low political participation, especially among the young people world wide.
To educate people about the legislative process, and allow citizens a forum and information on how to contact and inform their representatives of existant grievances/problems.
To allow more flexible, easier, interactive, varied access to politics, political representatives, and the democratic system.
To provide a forum for people to submit questions to local representatives. Also other social media to highlight existing problems at local level and national. Videos, pictures taken by simple phones can be transmitted and shown to the whole world. This way local disputes of extreme nature could get large audience viewing, and attraction from politicians who would be following their constituency views, and comments.
Graphic maps will allow citizens to observe digital maps, something like google maps, but with public information integrated in them. Information such as crime, health, and school data will allow people to see trouble spots, better inform peoples decisions. There is interesting work being done on reducing government expenditure by finding out high cost centres.
Solução
By streaming Parliament/Legislative debates and other regulatory political decisions from local, national and international levels.
To allow all humans an access through internet to a forum, to submit their grievances. This can be as small as pot-hole in the street, regional problem to national government, or expression of unhappiness by highlighting international issue. This will be portrayed to the right representative, by such social media platforms as email/facebook/twitter and others. There might be a need for individual forums for each country and international forums. Individual forum, will be divided into Local and National levels.
eVoting capabilities especially for the migrant populations!
This not a single solution, but a movement and an NGO to increase internet use that helps communities to solve existing problems. It allows each citizen to become a lobbyist for their own well-being by providing the information how to address their grievances straight to the representative.
To create an all-seeing eye of the society, to make Governments of the world realize that they work for the people. By providing little brother, to the big brother. Its well know how states use surveillance for its people, but Politics Internete would provide peoples surveillance of the government. All the information is paid for by the tax payer, thus it should belong to the citizens. To be put in the most beneficial use for the society, if its crime level in your city, or educational achievement in the local schools. Interactive maps, through use of internet and cloud computing
Exemplo
An application that allows people to take a photo of something that they feel is a pressing issue, (litter, or a pot-hole for example) and send it to authorities to be fixed. This can be done on mobile-phones, those parts of the world that can't afford newer technologies. Could use sms, every country will have to receive tailor made eGovernance services, but the structure will be similar.
Alternatively users will be able to contact their representative via Social Media in their country, or in regional organisations such European Union. This already exists, but there is requirement to build the service for citizens, for many different problems that could exist. To make citizens aware of ways to do this. To allow people have mock- referendums on issues that they would only have news from polling PR companies.
eVoting will allow immigrant diaspora express their view in the elections, which will lead to change in politics. Because politicians will campaign and try to seize the new potential electorates views, and their problems.
Also having legislation debates streamed on internet, will allow anybody with interest in that particular regulation to watch it. And then contact their representative before, or after to encourage him to speak out for his constituents. This will also hugely educate people about the political process, and the links that exist between different institutions. Will leave less room for politicians and other senior figures, to pass unwanted legislation, without the knowledge of the public.

Ofertas e demandas
The organisation stand to promote internet usage for governmental, political use by citizens. Thus there is little that somebody could compete away from us. But Governments, Facebook, Twitter, and other developers of governmental systems could be considered as competitors or peers. Other changermakers, IT entrepreneurs.
Main challenge will be backwardness of some governments towards new technologies, and more direct contact with the electorate. Which can pose a challenge to 'Politics Internete' growth. Education of the elder generation of politicians and citizen representatives for wider use of internet. Also promoting bureaucracies in providing the public information, especially in developing countries.
Politika Internete can provide models for how to allow people better access to politics, and deeper political participation. But there isint one single solution, or application, at least yet...
The video examples that are provided for this entry are examples of internet applications that ca help, and involve citizens in governance of a state, or higher participation in the democracy.

Hi Edvinas,
I really enjoyed learning about your citizen participation idea through your Changeshop, and it is great to see the ways in which you are taking advantage of the new platform here. I am really interested in the milestones you have laid our for the growth of your organization, and how you plan to get to these milestones. You have a few needs listed, and I would love to see more about what other specific needs you have to allow you to get your idea up and running. Do you have more needs for talent, or funding? And when you say that you want to collaborate with other iDemocracy organizations, it would be interesting to hear more about what specifically those collaborations could accomplish.
Best of luck!
