LiquidFeedback is free software for political opinion formation and decision-making. The software incorporates insights from social choice theory in order to aggregate opinions more effectively.
== Description == LiquidFeedback helps groups (such as societies or organizations, political or not) make decisions inclusively, without the limitations of traditional governance methods. It also differs from a general Internet forum by providing a proposition development process that integrates deliberation and voting. LiquidFeedback was originally designed for political parties and other organizations, but has evolved to be used in civic contexts as well. It aims to create an accurate representation of the opinions of the group's members, without them being distorted by social hierarchies and knowledge differences. Each individual is encouraged to promote his or her own initiatives within the scope set by the operators. This scope may be the democratic self-organization of the group or the submission of proposals to elected representatives.
