Senate
DESCRIPTION/PROBLEM
How to create the first parliament?
DECISION
There should be a senate. Senate should represent every region of the country. Reason is that every natural part of society should be represented. So it could be representation of clans, tribes, ethnic-confessional groups etc. Every citizen should feel that his or her natural "sub-ethnic" group is represented. There is a difference between a deputy and a senator. Deputy is a sort of hired lawyer, senator is a natural leader.
Senate mission is to make parliament work. So it became an upper chamber and an election commission in the same time. Senate approves its status via plebiscite.
Every citizen can initiate local plebiscite to recall "own" senator or national plebiscite to recall "others" senator. So every senator and whole senate should instantiate uniting of nation
It could be a pair of senators.
RESULT
Senate initiates the first election. Senate may initiate re-election if it's needed.
Parliament do not set rules to elect itself.
Election rules and election commission are more stable than parliament.
APPENDIX
Senate creates itself so it re-elect itself by rotation: 1/3 of senators are re-elected every 3 years by
"winner-take-all" method.

Democracy vs Ochlocracy
DESCRIPTION
Every citizens have equal rights, in same time they are not equal because every person is unique.
Every citizen at certain age have voting right but in the same time not every citizen understand properly what is this right for. He or she could even like totalitarianism very much.
PROBLEM
If there are number of people that have a voting right but don't understand what is democracy for, democracy became an ochlocracy. Parties became populistic and totalitarian with only ideology that is Power. Democratic citizen in this case refuse to participate in elections and democratic candidates have no chance. There is a total degradation of a political system that became democratic only by name.
DECISION
Every citizen have right to vote but they don't became voters automatically.
To became a voter citizen must participate in whole voting process.
It means that voters should pay to organize votes directly by themselves.
It also means that particular voter could be chosen to a local election commission.
Every citizen can take all money he or she need for voting from local budget.
They need only their request to receive the money.
They have only a moral obligation to use this money for voting.
RESULT
Voting right means some obligations.
Citizen may cheat a state, but it is much more cheaper, than to allow such a citizen to vote.
There is no discrimination.
APPENDIX
It is also very important for democracy to pay all taxes personally. Everybody should know that authorities don't give, they take and reassign resources.

Balloting Procedure
Main idea is that ballots contain bar-code with all information about the vote. It allows to use automatic methods of voting counting. It seems the only one possibility to implement "marking" or "multiple choice" in case of 20 parties and candidates. Normal thing in Ukraine.
Voter generates a ballot her or himself using certified software.
Voter can do it in a polling place or every other place he or she wants.
Ballot contains the voter's choice and a bar-code that codes the choice.
Polling place officials set a stamp and attach a bar-code that contains a ballot number and a polling place number. Ballot should be flipped to not show the choice
Ballot with stamp and bar-code became a document and a voter put it in ballot box.
After voting is ended ballots is put off from the box and scaned.
Result data base contains number of a ballot and the choice in each record.
Total result is calculated and a resulting document is generated.
Resulting document contains all data base as number of QR-codes.
All algorithms are open and all results can be verified using a smartphone for example.
All results are the paper documents.
Every ballot can be verified by its number.
Ballot is the voter's responsibility.

Ballots
:::::::::PARTIES:::::::::
DESCRIPTION
Party balloting should give a real representation of society ideas as a result.
PROBLEM
Let's imagine a voter that is a pensioner and a socialist and an ecologist. For example there are three parties "greens" "socialists" and "party of pensioners". Probably the voter would like to see all these parties in a parliament, but have only one choice. The result is "party of green socialistic pensioners" without certain ideology.
DECISION
To allow a multiple choice: "one voter - several parties".
The voice is split among all parties.
RESULT
Having a real representation of society ideas in parliament
Having parties with certain ideology because certain ideology is the only reason they are being voted
:::::::::TERRITORIES:::::::::
DESCRIPTION
There should be one person that represents certain territory
PROBLEM
If majority loves a candidate, but minority hates them. Is the candidate a real territory representative?
DECISION
Marking all candidates with "+" or "-". Plus means that a person could be a representative, minus means that he or she could not. "No idea" means minus. Total mark of each candidate is number of pluses without number of minuses. Candidate with a biggest mark is a winner.
RESULT
Having a compromise winner that is appropriate for all voters instead having an odious one.
No winner/looser psychology
Every candidate have a chance, not only the toppest ones: "one voter - one vote" means that voter should vote for most popular politicians to not loose her or his vote. marking means no lost votes.
