Political Movement The Other Party Reveals Plan for Blockchain-based Democracy in the UK The Other Party debuted
in the UK today with a commitment to decentralize power and restore it to the public using blockchain technology. According to a statement published on its website,
The Other Party aims to shake up conventional centralized political systems, fostering a more direct and transparent democratic process by harnessing the potential of blockchain technology.
“Our mission is to remove the centralized power of politicians and return it to the hands of the people,” The Other Party founder Dom Ryder said.
“By leveraging blockchain technology, we are ensuring every voice is heard, every vote counts and every decision is transparent and incorruptible.”
One of The Other Party’s initiatives involves the issuance
of “governance passports” to UK voters in the form of NFTs. These passports serve as a digital identity on the blockchain
, ensuring that votes “immutable, traceable and protected from tampering or undue influence,” according to the party. The concept revolves around verifying eligibility while upholding the anonymity of voters involved in decision-making. This approach empowers each passport holder
to actively propose, vote on, and directly implement policies. The Other Party
also emphasized that any elected representatives from the party would be under a legal obligation to adhere to decisions made by their constituents rather than conforming
to a party line.
