Given that we have just held our federal election, and the US is about to have theirs, a post on Boing Boing today entitled How the win the nerd vote caught my eye.

It has 10 points:  Broadband everywhere, universal healthcare, no federal tax on Internet purchases, renewed commitment to education, renewed commitment to science, real changes to transportation, early voting by mail, revamping copyright, a better job from the patent office, and open government.

All in all not a bad start for any country, and perhaps a plan that would resonate with a lot of people.  Anyone want to convince existing politicians to adopt this plan? Or perhaps start a new political party?
