Establishing a Digital Parliament with Live Assemblies

1. Purpose

The current World Parliament Experiment platform allows us to draft and vote on proposals. While this is valuable, debates often feel static and fragmented. To build real momentum and collective ownership, we propose adding monthly live meetings where proposals can be debated more fluidly, ideas clarified, and consensus built.

This “Digital Parliament” would become the backbone of our global collaboration:

• A transparent, democratic platform for proposals and amendments.

• A monthly live assembly where members can debate and refine them.

• A voting system to adopt or reject proposals, ensuring the manifesto remains a living, evolving document.

2. Call to Action

We cannot remain quiet or abstract. The world needs to know we are here. Alongside the Digital Parliament, we propose creating a Declaration to rally activists and grassroots groups worldwide. This declaration will signal that a new alternative to the UN is emerging, one that is democratic, just, and people-driven.

3. The Role of Manifestos

As a starting point for debate, I propose that we include the United Earth Manifesto within this Digital Parliament as a reference text. Everyone would be invited to:

• Discuss and critique it,

• Collaborate on editing and improving it,

• Share their own manifestos or proposals for debate.

This way, we foster plurality and convergence, not just one voice, but many, shaping a shared vision of global unity and justice.

4. Benefits

• Moves us from passive drafting into active democratic practice.

• Builds legitimacy by including diverse grassroots voices.

• Signals to the world that a new global movement is taking form.

• Encourages collaboration between different groups, ideas, and manifestos.
