WikiWiki for Participatory Democracy
Now this is inclusive politics. IMO, WikiWiki is the most democratic social computing medium.
The Green Party of Canada goes a step beyond political blogs: They let their members work on their policies for the upcoming elections using a Wiki platform.

Kudos to the Greenies. Your Wiki is outstanding. Features that merit emulation include but are certainly not limited to:
- Rank-a-Plank (user ratings of platform planks)
- Lock Glyphs
If a registered user has locked a page, a lock glyph appears to the right of the TopicTitle.
- The “Living Platform“ Concept
“Parallel to the public website which displays our current platform is our Living Platform where you can jump in, suggest new ideas, edit or add to the existing planks. The Planks are here.“
For WikiWiki Junkies, this is a tiki wiki implementation.
