Voting nowadays is usually done in a participatory democracy. This means that one person is elected to speak for the entire population of a village, state or country. The people have to trust that man or woman to act in their best interest. This system is based on the ancient notion that the representative had to ride on a horse to the capital city to "let their voice be heard". Today however this notion becomes hopelessly outdated a the money for campaign contributions speaks louder than votes.

Some other countries allow the people to vote for certain items that are put up for consideration. Swiss for example has a participatory democracy. They still vote for their politicians in the classical way, butiIf people object to something the politicians decided (and get enough signatures) the item is up for vote for the entire country with a binding conclusion. The politicians cannot ignore the vote as they are overruled by the people. But the possibility for people to propose alternative solutions is still small and the vote is still yes/no.

An other way of coming to a decision is to not vote yes/no on one solution but to vote on multiple alternative solutions with the classic agreement gradient: strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree. All votes are summarized and the one most agreed upon wins.  This  works but even then votes are sometimes made emotionally. Discussing rationally in normal forum style and proposing alternatives without it becoming chaotic is difficult.

Main project
  
To handle a large number of persons and encourage them to chose rationally, other models are needed. The solution proposed below is to not vote on the proposals directly but on the criteria for those proposals, and also give an importance or weight to a criteria.

Other stuff
  
By not voting on proposals directly but on criteria separately (with possibility to discuss on each item) there is more incentive to think about all angles. People can also add new proposals or criteria, but they have to be seconded by other voters to become valid as to reduce spamming.

[edit] About me

That's me

I am a software engineer working in the industrial automation food sector. My software produces a significant amount of the dairy and biscuit industry in Western Europe. So in a way I'm working for the enemy and I'm trying to redeem myself. Actually I'm just looking for a way to improve the world in some way. I've often wondered how to solve some issues I see in the world. So I went looking for alternative monetary systems and found TVP and TZM. These are the first for me that offer a true solution. Right now I live in Belgium in the country side just doing my job like I'm supposed to. I've never been career oriented but it's a way to survive for now. I don't know if I can move to the settlement. A lot depends on the situation in my country and the situation of my family. So probably not. But I will try to add some of my time into the wiki.
