About Us

Digital Democracy was created by a group of people who live in the UK. We all found it very difficult to influence decisions made by others that affect our lives, so we formed a social company called Democratise and built this website to try and change things. The main aim of our company is to increase levels of democratic involvement in decision making by the people whose quality of life is affected by the outcome of those decisions.

Digital Democracy boldly claims to be the world's first mass participation, online democratic forum. Digital Democracy will enable your community to identify its top priorities in a democratic way. These priorities will be forwarded to participating MPs and other key decision makers, who will be invited to state on the website what they have done in response.
