The relationship of the Web 2.0 and the actual Political system

We are living one great change (the digital era) the web 2.0 is a reality (the web 3.0 is taken place), every day that goes by people tend to have more and more in their one hands the power to do/make themselves hear.
The power for all things is being spread among us, has it should be, but as always and following other era’s bad examples, part of our society haven’t, or don’t want to see this reality, or better yet, they have seen it but only the part of the paradigm that might bring results to themselves, has an example we can analyze the Politicians, they are using it to broadcast their message, but they will be reluctant to give way their power.
I believe that in a near future our democracy will change, the power it’ll be closer to the people, this is not just one simple cliché, if we take one minute or two to think about who represents us, we’ll see that we no longer need one parliament to be our voice, the Deputies are distant from the people that they should represent. We can also think about what this infrastructure, the Parliament, stands in terms of costs to our Country year budget.
The Digital era will allow us to have different systems, even for the old Political systems, we can foresee people taking action/vote about measures throughout administrative sites in where they can express their one will on a day basis.
