TOWARDS A NEW DEMOCRACY: CONSENSUS THROUGH QUANTUM PARLIAMENT

We compare different actual forms of democracy and analyse in which way they are variations of a “natural consensus decision process”. We analyse how a “pure consensus procedure” is open to boycott of a minority, and how a “consensus decision followed by majority voting” is open to “false play” by a majority. We introduce a “random consensus procedure” in order to come closer to a natural decision process, and investigate how for such decision procedure false play of a minority is plausible to happen. We introduce the combined notion of “quantum parliament” and “quantum decision procedure”, and prove it to be the only one, when applied after consensus decision, that is immune to false play. We define a new form of democracy applying a quantum consensus system for its decision procedures.
