Yes, that's exactly how I feel!
I would have perhaps preferred it if they had added a system for counting citizens' votes in the Early Day Motion type system - ie to Parliament for a start and not the executive.
There is one benefit in giving it an airing though - as I mentioned in my post about Matthew Taylor and the Counter reformation, if they think this is the extent of the internet's interaction with government they've got it hopelessly wrong. I'd be glad of that because it will keep them burbling along while the real revolution in power to the people being institgated by the internet as a quasi-democratic forum in its own right will stay beneath the radar longer, until it's ready to launch!
