Obviously a new form of government should consist of as few as possible independent participants, each one being motivated by the interests of his or her group of voters. The governance system in which the 'permanent leader' or president aren't present more. While the decision-making process must become permanently adversarial.

A new, multipolar democratic political system of 5 independent political parties with a movable centre of joint decisions would be better organized, more broad-minded, competently enterprising, protected by party's sovereignty and by Collective intelligence and would fit into society more adequately. The five [different viewpoints on common issues and challenges] make up the minimum for self-balance. 5-pointed star is a symbol wisdom and protection in power.

(An increase in the number of participants is possible, but it worsens the expeditiousness and controllability of the system. Besides, opposition parties 'beyond a fence' are the necessary catalyst and a source of renewal.)

Collective interests of the whole society are presented in the governance of five Independent political parties simultaneously. In everyone there is a group of advising experts in different fields; the role of the party leader consists in creation of a professionally competitive team, preservation of its sovereignty and coordination of work and above all, the representation of voters' interests. The favorite of most voters will have initial 2 votes out of 6, but the 2-votes advantage will be "floating". The accepted decisions are the result of a balance of contradictions and compromises among the independent political leaders within a new democratic decision-making system.

Odd quantity (5) of participants and 'floating' 2-advantage in a new government system are necessary for flexible and prompt change of the leader for the purpose of an exception of ideological tendentiousness, and for blocking a 'bad' political decisions (for decision-making the initiator should make a compromise at least with one more participant, but their joint decision can be blocked by three other participants: the 2-votes advantage +1 = 1+1+1). The blockings mean that the question should be reconsidered from other positions or is closed till 'the best of times'. But leadership can move only between 2 largest political parties with the greatest quantity of voters in order to not to harm to the majority of the population. In so doing the threat of negative evaluation (see below) and competitive survival (someone will leave the team in any case) compels any of leaders not to forget about interests of another big part of voters. Three smallest parties, taking one direction or another, play a stabilizing role and enrich the accepted decisions by means interests of smallest groups of the population inclusive, as a most vulnerable from the same negative estimation. The minority party will be finally get the opportunity to earn their popularity by means of actual work done for the good of the society.

Decision-making system in a new democratic governance.

The right to decisions doesn't belong to anybody individually! Any participant of five has the right of initiatives. The realization of suggestions impels seeking allies and go to compromises. The decision can be taken at the half of the votes. If the solution is blocked by another half, the right of the new edition and the 2-votes advantage go to the leader of the second (regarding the number of voters) party.

In case of repeated lock, either:

1. The 2-votes advantage on the current theme goes to the communicator with a new alternative, which is supported by at least one participant from each block. Or, by mutual agreement, the conflict can be resolved using an ordinary majority of votes with the participation of only thematic experts of 5 sides. The leader has the right to refuse the made decision.

2. Final lock. The one provoking regular locks loses the right for initiatives, the three least (for the number of voters) parties can be updated from a reserve. In this case the culprit of locks is a turncoat.

The three least parties are not enough in order to take separate initiatives. Control of "taken decision" is implemented by participants outside the resolution.

Two- or three-party alliance, that exceeded half of all decisions and locks, may claim only for one place in the future team. The compulsory new-party / educatee is "the entrance ticket" to the Elections for the ruling veteran; a "rookie" may declare himself outside the Elections along with the mentor only. It is possible for a trainee to participate as an advisor. The team going to Power for the first time can not be reorganized from functionaries of the ruling teams.

Advertising of the ruling parties is prohibited in the new democratic elections, their campaign can be supported with the work done only; opposition may publish an unaccepted version through the mass media. The advertising campaign of new candidates can not be financed from private sources and state funds are distributed equally among the contenders.

A new democratic electoral system.

A ballot paper has 2 columns: Ruling Parties in descending order by the realized solutions rate only (an initiator earns two points, partners receive one, lock withdraws one and two respectively) and new ones, each presents its three basic purposes. If the voter trusts a former "mon ami", he puts "YES"; if not, then he selects the new one with the most needfull priorities. He also has the right to say "NO" to the most negative of the ruling teams. The negative evaluation may take away up to half of the positive votes. The final grade of the "Old Fighters" in the elections is different between "FOR" and "AGAINST" votes, multiplied by the efficiency index (the ratio between implemented decisions and all the decisions taken) and the average objectivity index (the ratio of the participants who made the decision to their total number of 5). The sides not involved into decision making will have the objectivity index 1. For the party of lowest participation, its protege and a free candidate, the results will be increased by the reverse usefulness index (that is a ratio of a difference "FOR" votes "AGAINST" votes to "FOR" votes) of the leading four. If the usefulness index of the outsider is higher than the average index of the four, the outsider gets two vacancies in the new team for the outsider itself and its educatee.

If nobody from the offered list doesn't suit the voter, he is free to add a name of one's own candidate to a ballot paper. Attention: this candidate is an indicator of an openness and democratic character of a new governance form! The "dark horse" of the majority of voters has a guaranteed place in the future government if it is not challenged by a number of voices from a useful outsider! Two compulsory vacancies in the new government for the current ruling teams are a guarantee for the experience accumulation and power continuity. Votes counting should occur only during the live broadcast.
