[luv-talk] "Liquid Democracy" - an online party participation model for the 21st century?

Hi all, while reading German news (when getting knots in software restructuring and my brain;-) I found this Online discussion and voting system interesting: http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,818683,00.html http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bild-818683-323133.html I wonder whether this kind of system may renew interest in participation in political parties?
