I have read a bit about the potential for a digital voting system in Scotland. The concept is that everyone will get a digital citizenship. Along with other rights and entitlements, digital citizenship will entitle the individual to vote. When citizens vote digitally; their votes will form part of a Blockchain. This chain (not the individual votes) would be transparent and verifiable. It would be available to all interested parties from the press to the EU and UN. Why not have an independence vote blockchain. Blockchain covenant? In the 1950's, millions of Scots signed the new national covenant. It was delivered to Westminster....who quietly binned it. Blockchain covenant could conceivably run indefinitely, slowly gathering digital votes. If the idea took hold, it is conceivable that the 50 percent voter population pro independence threshold would be met at some point in the near future. Conclusive proof of the democratic will of the people. Also....and importantly.......it would be totally outwith the hands of UKgov. Ito could never be shelved or binned. ...."now would be the time........" It seems an interesting idea.
