Daniel Bell – Vertical Model – A Blending of Political Ideology
Daniel Bell believes the vertical model, whereby candidates are elected democratically to manage the lower-end political decisions and move up as they earned the right to demonstrate their experience and moral decision making abilities, would remedy the poor and short-sight political judgements we face today. Watch his talk.
Conrad Black – Impact of Technology on Politics
Conrad explores the impact of the 24 hour news machine and its perceived influence on the extreme political opposition now witnessed in the United States. The answer he suggests, is rooted more firmly in history with the Nixon administration. Watch his talk.
Michael Nicula – Participatory Democracy
Michael has created the Online Party of Canada, a non-partisan political party that puts forward Federal legislative initiatives as voted on by its members. It enables members to vote on the issue not the party and gives the right to change their vote at any time. Watch his talk.
