Regarding Open On-line Government

"... The internet is not an end in itself, but a tool. Established (political) parties haven't realised this but younger people who started life with the internet do. They want politics to change - to Politics 3.0 if you like - so politicians talk with them, not about them."

(which just won 9 per cent of the vote -- 15 seats -- in elections to Berlin's state parliament.)
