Introduction
The struggle between the ruler and the ruled has a long and chequered history. There was a time when rulers were perceived as emerging from heaven and therefore, having divine rights, and nobody could dare oppose (or challenge) their authority. As time went on, it was realised that government should and must be for the interest of the people. But this transition was not without resistance. The English revolution of 1688, the American Revolution of 1776 and the French Revolution of...

Most flocking simulators based on Conway's Game of Life (ie: simulated birds flying in somewhat erratic circles) model social interaction by using interdependent formulas to try and guess what people will do, and where they'll go; in order to get what they need.
The in development political / economic model below is slightly different in that it has citizens staying put; while wealth and power flock around them.
The goal of the game is to:

Empowerment Inc. is an exciting new offshoot of vote sizing. Just as the Democratic Empowerment Party is the political arm of vote sizing (itself the social manifestation of the fair choice) - Empowerment Inc. is vote sizing's economic arm.

Personally, people want to be empowered. If you don't people the power to fight corruption, high cost of living, insecurity, and other social vices, they are simply going to rise up and stage a bloody revolution and at that time both the wealthy and the poor will be at risk.

What Vote Sizing Isn't:
A means of redistributing wealth
An anti-poverty movement
Marxism or communism
A utopian dream
Representational voting
In favor of sizing votes according to tests or abilities
Violent activism
The whole notion of vote sizing is so radically new that it naturally evokes many misunderstandings; so rather than try to explain all of it at once, perhaps the easiest approach to take is by first discovering what vote sizing is not.
As we're gong to...

The idea of vote sizing is to enhance the way that elections are held by involving computers to adjust the size, or weight, of individual votes. When most of us think of voting, we think of voting for president, but this new kind of ballot counting can be put anywhere there are people who want to collectively make decisions - for example, in companies, in co-operatives, unions, schools, or various levels of government postings like mayors, etc.
First we need to address the feasibility of vote...

Vote sizing is an innovative and provocative new way to design dynamic social systems by factoring in the ability to harness natural 'human' emotions such as satisfaction, inclusion, psychology and independent choice; into the collective decision-making process.
Vote sizing can be implemented in many situations; such as in political models, economic models, academic models... and anywhere else where people may want to hold elections in order to reach consensus. In this evaluation, we're going...

Vote sizing philosophy leans heavily on G.W.F. Hegel's theory that everything in the universe evolves through triads; thesis-antithesis-synthesis. Hegel was the first philosopher to notice that human society evolves over time, at each stage of development pursuing Geist - the manifestations of more freedoms. He noticed that the in order to achieve these freedoms the connection between the individual and the world had to change through social development; in other words, we evolve...

One reason the rich keep getting richer is because capitalism functions on the principle of weighted money - the more money you have, the easier it is to buy and consume. For instance, magazines are cheaper when you buy a subscription, and cigarettes are cheaper by the carton than a pack at a time. If you have enough money to buy lots of magazines and cigarettes, then you can open up a kiosk and sell them on the street corner.
If your kiosk makes enough money, you can use the profits to...

Vote sized learning is an innovative new and provocative way to teach students. It is part of a general outlook on modifying social behavior promoted by the Vote Sizing Institute and its partner organizations: the Democratic Empowerment Party - Canada, the Fair Choice Party - Cameroon, and Empowerment Inc. ... and parallels our promotion of vote sized elections, online vote-sized polling, vote sized businesses, and our vote flocking simulation.
The first detour that vote sized learning takes...

Before any election, politicians have to get their messages across, probably on the reforms they are going to carry in order to better the living standards of the people. This exercise does not go without much money being spent on paying the media, bribing the people to vote for a particular party/person. It is important we understand that election periods are the greatest and only moments which people have to start the building of a fundamental or foundation of a good government. The...
