To track elections, legislation, voting records, public positions, etc. around the world in one site. Value added services should be added, including the ability to comment on events, legislation and candidates. Also, background information on how the democracies work should be added. If feasible, the site could also be set up to collect campaign contributions. The emphasis of the site would be to promote democracy and mutual understanding of other countries' democratic institutions and political issues/debates.

The website should also track the major influencing bodies that influence each political representative; identify every person, corporation, lobby group, .... and provide their contact information. Since these persons have greater influence over our elected representatives than the general public, the general public should be allowed to contact these persons, corporations, and lobby groups directly.

Provide interactive flow charts that map out every political action so that the public can more fully understand the actions taken by our politicians and how those actions affect everything. This is easily implementable. Hyperlinks would allow linking people major influencing bodies with the costs, benefits, and corruption resulting from each political action proposed or taken.

A major problem with our political system is the great deal of corruption that exists behind closed doors. Making the public aware of the people and relationships could help bring control of our government back to the people.

Corporations and lobby groups have no soul or ethical outlook. They exist to promote thier agenda at any cost to the public, minimizing their own expense, and maximizing their own benefit. Without any concern for the public.
