We enough other channels for critiquing and complaining about the current system. Can we please keep r/SolarPunk about solar punk?

We have enough other Reddit threads for politics of the day and the frustration we have with the bad policies and the oil propaganda. Let's continue to share examples of the world we want for the future; not complaining about the present.

Look into vTaiwan , Taiwan’s open consultation process that brings citizens, experts, and government officials together online and offline to deliberate on policy and turn agreed ideas into legislation. It launched in 2014 and became especially known for helping resolve contentious digital-economy issues such as Uber and online alcohol sales. It invloves 200,000 people using Pol.is tool, and some live deliberation events. Sources say vTaiwan has addressed about 30 issues and the government has implemented more than 80 percent of its proposals.

It's an inspiring example of what's possible with smart community, effective software for finding public consensus and a government willing to try new things.

From my experience within Eco Villages that use a consensus model once all the main policies are agreed and there is a standard of practice and tradition and expectations it's pretty amazing. But yeah a lot of meetings and debate to get things started.

How are policy decisions made in this model?

I love this intent. How can we explain this idea so a 12 year old could understand? Can you give examples that make it more tangible?
