Political engagement, openness and trust in the political process

Premable: Some of us come from a place where political activity seems to be the whole deal. Others have worked deep inside the machine in places where day-to-day political dialogue seems remote and irrelevant. We have to bring them together.
This exercise in crowdsouring policy strays straight into political territory. But it's not a case of "my crowd can source something better than your crowd". It's a case of "we're all in this together". If we do our job well the political competition will be about which party is best at drawing on crowdsourced ideas: taking the best we can come up and giving good reasons if they have to choose to reject what does not fit. So this exercise is political, of course, but not intended to be partisan.

How do we support representative democracy, communicate better in both directions, bring in transparency without destroying trust?
This might simply come down to restating in context everything MySociety has done and is still trying to do. But there's other good work and good ideas too: let's add those in.
