Open Ministry Crowdsources Laws In Finland

Glen Newton
"The new Citizens' Initiative service started today in Finland. On the
Open Ministry website, anyone can present an idea for a law or
initiative. If the idea wins enough support, the ministry's volunteer
workers will work on it and turn it into a presentable bill for the
MPs to chew over. If 50,000 citizens of voting age agree on a bill
Parliament has to take it up."
