[edit] No connection between community websites and politics
[edit] From participant 1
In short, this is an online community! Just as you get if you get to know a town town, knock on doors, meet people, talk together, etc. Unfortunately it is little recognised by our local authority - indeed, it is eschewed by our local authority and this is a mystery to us and to our users too. This is, however, damaging to the community websites and to our communities, not to mention our local authority. It diminishes and disrupts us all. They are about democracy, not politics, but there are those who seem to find it difficult to differentiate between them.
[edit] Feel engage and relevant
[edit] participant 4
It is axiomatic that for democracy to flourish, it has to be a process in which all participants feel engaged and relevant and it is against this backdrop that his interest in eDemocracy is framed.
