v2 v3 61 61 Maybe it'll be too much trouble to get involved and difficult to convince new people to register, right? 62 62 63 Wrong. As in all sites with user generated content, the ones who develop and publish the site and who generate most of the content are a tiny fraction of the total number of users (think You Tube). Most of them interact very little, contribute almost nothing and still can take advantage of it. And even so, vibrant and rich communities are built.63 Wrong.

"Just create a login and choose some friends to vote for you." They will receive an email from time to time saying "hey, these things have been voted, are you interested?" and they'll delete it. And then another one saying "this friend of yours voted in favor of this for you, another friend voted against that" and also delete it. But they are, at least in a passive and vague way, informed about what is going on, which is more than we have today. In these emails, some stuff might call their attention. The friend who voted for him can call him up and talk about what is being discussed (something that would never happen with a MP). Even with the minimum of effort there is more democracy.
