It's a flexible instrument to accommodate all forms of participation. In LiquidFeedback roles are assigned from sections, and if necessary the parlamentary referent can have the privilege of skipping the first acceptance quorum.

In order to redress this imbalance, Pirates have been designing policies and software that have the aim of bringing citizen participation into politics – using technology and the internet as a platform.
