Project

To help create and promote parties with only one element in their program: direct democracy ("a form of democracy in which sovereignty is lodged in the assembly of all citizens who choose to participate").

E2D parties were to be politically non-partisan and their agenda entirely based on people's decision, determined by means of referendums and initiatives organized by party members and citizens. These organized systems were supposed to allow citizens to vote on propositions of laws submitted by elected members of parliament, but also to propose new laws.

Mission

The mission for E2D International was "to help establish, to support and promote, and to maintain communication and co-operation between politically-neutral electronic direct democracy parties around the world."[ citation needed ]

The E2D Manifesto

The E2D Manifesto was inspired by the ideas of Aki Orr, amongst others.
