I am totally confused. Do you distinguish "liquid feedback" from "liquid 
democracy"? Is there any poiint in advocating just internal liquid 
democracy? Anyway, Dutch PP was set up mistakenly with a *reduced* democracy 
that prevents ordinary members to vote directly. Under Dutch association 
law, such a structure is allowed, but it is notmally only used for 
associations of > 100000 members.

Anyway, I am allergic for ideas that pirates should change the political 
system itself. Because the situation widely varies by country, it is not 
straightforward to propose a better alternative to present-day structures, 
and getting them accepted is tedious.
