Thus, I have suggested five dimensions of what a deeper democracy may entail: increased dispersion of leadership; increased volume, complexity and efficiency of information processing; increased accountability and balancing of powers, putting greater demands upon the verifiability of decision-making; a deepening and thickening of de jure and de facto participation and popular support in processes of decision-making and opinion formation; and the growth of democratic, egalitarian and multi-perspectival culture and values.
