A Canadian federal political party

The Modern Party — Government Evolution

We are the Majority.

Our political system has failed us. It is ineffective, outdated, and expensive. We can change it.

We give our money and power to a small group of politicians and hope they do what we want.

They don’t. They waste and steal our money. They break their promises.

We are the Majority, but we are currently powerless. We only get to vote ONCE every four years on ONE issue: which of the two parties, neither of which we agree with fully, will make all the decisions for the next four years.

If the Majority is unhappy with their decisions, we can only write our MP, protest in the streets, post about it on social media, discuss with others, and wait four years to vote for a different party. Our options are not effective.

But we are the Majority. We can make ourselves powerful because we can vote to change the system.

The plan

Here is how we are going to do it.

  1. 01

    Start a political party

    The Modern Party is not right wing or left wing. Our only policy is that the Majority should use today’s technology to take power away from politicians and give it to the Majority. We will have candidates in each riding across the country.

  2. 02

    Build the Majority Rules Now App

    A secure platform where the Majority can debate, upload evidence, and vote directly on every law the government is considering.

  3. 03

    Vote our candidates into office

    Vote to get Modern Party candidates elected. The Majority then has the power — because our elected members vote exactly as the Majority decides in the app. No exceptions.

  4. 04

    Control the government through the app

    Give them the power and they will give it to the Majority. With enough seats, we’ll pass our own laws. Eventually, we’ll dissolve the old system entirely and govern ourselves — directly, and efficiently, through the App.

We don’t live in the 1800s anymore. Why do we vote like it?

The Majority of us have a supercomputer in our pockets now that allows us to communicate and vote remotely. The Majority will use this to Rule. Politicians already vote electronically. Fifty million people can do the work of 200 elected representatives with the right system.

It is time for the Majority to Rule Now and take power from the politicians.
