Citizens can help make policy through data analysis

From:  The Data-Driven Democracy, by Mary C Joyce  |  Meta-Activism Project



  • The role of the citizen in a data-driven democracy would be to identify policy goals.  We would not be asked to choose a candidate based on what we think a good education policy is or vote on a referendum based on what we think a good health care policy is.  We would indicate our priorities – we want education for all, we want low-cost and effective health care – and then quantitative analysis of the data would identify the most successful policy.
