Deliberation

As liquid democracy opens the doors to much greater citizen engagement with issues, many voters will want to discuss and deliberate on these issues. Blockchain-based liquid democracy platforms being developed today will support close integration of deliberative fora with the voting interface.

Although related, deliberation is distinct from voting to approve or disapprove a proposal; this separation allows room for experiments to identify the best logic for inclusive deliberation. Already, there are promising models, such as Loomio.
